EPISTEMOLOGICAL CROSSROADS IN THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION
A REFLECTION ON THE “THEOLOGICAL” ANALYTICAL CATEGORIES AND “COSMOPERCEPTION” FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DISCIPLINE
Keywords:
Candomble, Afro-Brazilian religions, Cosmoperception, Theology, Afro-studies, Decolonial studiesAbstract
This text intends to present an epistemological alternative that can offer research results more aligned to the decolonial theory in the discipline of Science of Religion. Thinking of conceptual alternatives that do not reinforce the hegemonic epistemicide by means of comparative methods is more than a path to be taken, it can reveal itself as an opportunity for knowledge and scientific production from places little visited in its integrity. Cosmoperception and theology are the analytical categories that, although not antagonistic, point in different directions.
