Abstract
Can International Relations (IR) as a discipline contributeto the study of the worldwide resurgence of religion? This is not an idle question, because the international context within which this resurgence is taking place is the primary domain of IR expertise.
Enlightenment publicists and philosophers wielded none of the torture instruments of the Catholic inquisitions, nor did they burn dissenters under some Protestant dispensation. But when it came to religion in all its aspects, they strangled free inquiry just as effectively by the commanding force of the fashion they imposed.1
