Ivar Paulson’s comparative religion in-between phenomenology and evolutionism
This article presents an in-depth analysis of the main methodological and theoretical focuses of Ivar Paulson based on his research publications. The goal of the analysis is to clarify how Paulson understood phenomenological, ecological, psychological and evolutionist research. Overall, it is shown how Paulson understood his phenomenological research closely related to issues relevant for psychological research and how this in turn was also related to ecology, and in a complex, implicit way to classical cultural evolutionism as well. In addition, the article also places special emphasis on contextualizing Paulson’s perspectives in relation to the general trends in comparative religion and other relevant disciplines of his time.
