This book challenges this widespread assumption and demonstrates how primal religions have something significant to offer on virtually every theme discussed in the philosophy of religion. Through this book the primal religous tradition stakes its claim for a place at the table.Despite the absence of written texts, primal religions have an implicit philosophy.This study shows how materials of primal religious experience can be incorporated in the categories of modern philosophy of religion. The book contends that the primal perspective can widen and deepen the horizons of philosophy of religion and enhance the philosophical appreciation of religion as a universal phenomenon.
