Abstract
In his text, Jeffrey J. Kripal wishes to condense the totality of his studies and experiences into a series of metaphors, and observations aimed at reformulating and redirecting the purposes, intentions, and emotions behind religious studies and the field of the Humanities. But what are the Superhumanities? “That core idea goes like this: Pursue diversity until the end, make it more radical, render it ontological. In short, do not just decolonize history, religion, literature, or society, as academics like to say. Decolonize reality itself.” (p. 14).
