The Concept of Religious Experience by Rudolf Otto: A Phenomenological Approach
Jurnal Filsafat September 3, 2024 Farid Farid 1 citation
Rudolf Otto's concept of religious experience, particularly his notion of the "Almighty" or the numinous, describes a divine presence that transcends logical understanding and evokes deep emotional and intuitive responses. Using a phenomenological approach, the study analyzes Otto's key text, Das Heilige (The Idea of the Holy), along with his personal documents. Otto's work provides a framework for examining religious experiences that go beyond ordinary or everyday experience, offering important theoretical and methodological contributions to the phenomenology of religion. His insights help in understanding the complexity and richness of religious experiences in the modern world.
