Towards a Religious Community
Author(s)
A. E. Smirnov
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to draw closer to the ontology of a religious community. This need has been justified, theoretical resources have been proposed, based on which a similar ontology can be built. These include the concept of “assemblies”, actor-network theory (B. Latour, M. Kallon, J. Lo), the concept of “community” (M. Blanchot, J.-L. Nancy, J. Agamben). As a result, it is possible to consider a religious community as a binding event, not relying on objectification.
