Sažetak
This article contextualizes Keilbach’s critique of Wilhelm Wundt’s genetic ethnopsychology within the contemporary psychology of religion, divided into four main parts. The first part provides an exposition of the contemporary context, explaining its significance and implications for evaluating Keilbach’s critique. The second part briefly presents Keilbach’s remarks on Wundt’s methodology from the perspective of an individual approach to religious consciousness. The third part examines the genetic relationship between religion and religious experience in Wundt’s work, emphasizing the practical aspects of contemporary psychology of religion. The fourth part is dedicated to the genesis of religion in Wundt’s ethnopsychology, analyzed within the framework of contemporary theories. This developmental scheme is divided into two periods, considering the categories of impersonality and personality that Wundt attributes to the holy as an object of religious experience. We analyze Wundt’s magical and mythological interpretations of the sacred through the hermeneutical connections between Keilbach and contemporary theories from psychology of religion and social theories. In evaluating Wundt’s Enlightenment rationalism, we emphasize the epistemological and religious aspects of the cult of sacrifice and the problem of the authenticity of Christian experience.
