Overview"Recently, a number of scholars have sought to reveal the extent to which the concept of religion and the discipline of religious studies depend upon a distinction between humans and other animals for their conceptual and disciplinary integrity. This dissertation is an attempt to deepen this insight by (re)turning to one of the central figures in the history of thinking about religion, G.W.F. Hegel, whose Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion represent one of the first forays into the academic study of religion. By employing the non-human animal as a limit-case, this project attempts to probe Hegel's concept of religion for a place where it might be possible to think ""religion"" anew. This ""place"" can be found in Hegel's concept of habit or Gewohnheit, since habit unsettles the distinction between nature and spirit, leaving open a way to rethink ""religion"" as being rooted in the animal or quasi-natural."
