Abstract

G. Oberhammer is one of the most significant German-speaking Indologists of the second half of the 20th century. In his researches he seeks to build a universal hermeneutical concept that would be equally applicable to different religious traditions. Herewith he tries to execute it while basing of studying material from sacred texts belonging to the ancient Indian both philosophical as well as religious tradition. But as a result he reveals the transcendental essence and existential significance of religious experience regardless of the specific religious tradition into which it is inscribed, thereby making a significant contribution to modern theological and philosophical-religious discussions. His transcendental theory of religion is nowadays one of the most significant and interesting version of Pluralism.
