Religion is usually assumed to require belief in the supernatural. However, Professor Harrison demonstrates that the central conceptions in this understanding of religion—’belief’ and ‘the supernatural’—are the product of a very specific, recent Western history. His talk invites us to reappraise the history of modernity and of religious thinking in the present. Reception to follow.
