What is Sacrifice? Towards a Polythetic Definition with an Emphasis on African and Chinese Religions Schachter, Bony 2022 Filosofia Theoretica , Vol. 11 , Issue 1 , S. 173 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 2276-8386 | 2408-5987 Abstract
This paper asks a simple and yet extremely relevant question for scholars of religion: what is sacrifice? Rejecting monothetic definitions of sacrifice, I argue that the phenomenon must be understood as a polythetic class. In its two first sections, the paper discusses the evidence from African religions and Chinese religions, respectively. The last section is devoted to a comparative exercise through which I highlight the polythetic nature of sacrifice.
