Description
Christentum und Islam bestimmen das Verhältnis von Religion und Politik in je spezifischer Weise. Dies gründet, so die These, in unterschiedlichen "Grammatiken" mit irreversiblen Elementen: in Gründerfiguren (Jesus, Paulus, Mohammed), autoritativen Texten (Neues Testament/Kirchenväter, Koran/Hadithe) und frühen politischen Erfahrungen (Machtdistanz im Christentum, Machtausübung im Islam).Die daraus entstehenden "Pfaddispositionen" zeigen sich...
