Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / The problem which the thesis seeks to explore is Rudolf Otto's theory of religious knowledge. The exposition of the problem is divided into three main divisions, Otto's intellectual tradition, his methodology, and his phenomenological description of the non-rational in religion.
The first section, which attempts to isolate Otto's intellectual heritage commences with a description of Otto's educational affiliations. Special emphasis is placed upon his duties in various German universities. Justification for this emphasis is the observation that the insights which come to fruition in his most famous work, The Idea of the Holy, may be studied in various stages of development in each particular university setting. Various other of Otto's writings are expounded and placed in the context of Otto's teaching career [TRUNCATED]
