(…) No one questions Assmann’s linguistic competence or his detailed knowledge of New Kingdom religious texts. Yet social scientists and general readers will be disappointed that in this book he offers no explanation for changing religious views (…). Assmann seeks to justify dealing with changing religious ideas from a purely conceptual point of view by stating that it would be a ‘reductionist fallacy’ to see in these changes ‘ nothing but the expression of political and economical tensions’ (p.XII). To try to understand changing religious concepts in their economic, political, and social contexts does not eliminate the role played by intellectual factors in this change. One hopes for the translation of additional works in which Assmann’s views on these issues are more apparent.’ (BRUCE G. TRIGGER in The International Journal of African Historical Studies, 1996, pp.424-426). |
