Abstract
What is Aum Shinrikyō and who is its founder Chizuo Matsumoto (aka Asahara Shōkō)? Is Aum a sect, or a religious movement, or – maybe – a terrorist organization? And what is its philosophical view? The present paper, very briefly, attempts to show the crucial relevance for historians of religions of understanding the Weltanschauung of the group that is millenarian, anti-Semitic, and fundamentalist, at the same time, but other too. In fact, in my opinion Aum Shinrikyō seems to be a “millenarian revolutionary formation”.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
