I studied this word, seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Otto 🙂
Yes,it’s a good word.Otto used it in a book called,The idea of the holy but many English people have nevre heard of it
I had to read it for philosophy of religion. It was an epic discussion 🙂
Oh,that must have been fascinating but quite difficult too…have you completed your studies?
Yes, years ago. But I don´t remember it difficult 🙂
I suppose you must have chosen the course as one you were interested in and maybe you had a good tutor and you are very intelligent
Thank you 🙂 As anecdote, that teacher was declared heretic by Benedic XVI. Ben is insane. Is he still alive, right?
Was he Hans Kung?Yes,Benedict is still alive I think.He was unsuited to that position in my view
Add Torres Queiruga (my teacher) to the heretic list. I can´t remember a class where he didn´t explain christianism as the best religion and God as all and only Love. I don´t know what he was thinking 🙂
Was he kind?
Yes, absolutely.
That says it all
