Phenomenological Study of Religion in John D. Kaputo

In this paper, we are intended to study the phenomenological comments of Kaputo about religion. Thus, we first review his theoretical concepts, the most important of which are phenomenological approach of Heidegger and Levinas. He, in his approach, claiming to the elimination of all forms of metaphysics and consequently absolute concepts in religion studies, in order to gain access to the entity of religion, seeks to remove the subject in religious knowledge and resorts to the Phenomenological approach of Levinas and Heidegger's ontological approach. Eventually, the fact that post-modern theological approaches should not be considered apart from post-modern philosophy of recent century, as well as the fact that this field highly gives insight to one's religious studies, correlate to his connection of post- modernism and related ideas, and also the extent to which these approaches prove their claims, is related to such proportions and it understood with frame of such relation.
