Abstract

Um reconhecido biólogo britânico, premiadíssimo por suas contribuições no estudo da vida marinha, imediatamente após se aposentar na Universidade de Oxford, no Reino Unido, aos 73 anos, passa a se dedicar integralmente ao estudo da vitalidade do fenômeno religioso, fundando uma Unidade de Pesquisa em Experiência Religiosa (RERU). Trata-se de Alister Hardy (1896-1985), cujas história, principais obras e concepções, influências recebidas e contribuições decorrentes para a Psicologia da Religião são focos deste artigo, de cunho teórico e historiográfico, escrito por ocasião dos 50 anos de fundação da referida unidade. Atualmente, situada em Lampeter, País de Gales, acolhida pela University of Wales Trinity University, desde 2000, recebe o nome de Alister Hardy Religious Experience Research Centre (RERC). A well-known British biologist, knighted for his contributions to the study of marine life, devoted his life after retiring from Oxford University in the United Kingdom to the study of the vitality of religious phenomenon by founding a Research Unit in Religious Experience (RERU) in Oxford. The biologist was Sir Alister Hardy (1896-1985), whose stories, works and conceptions, influences and ensuing contributions to the Psychology of Religion are focus of this paper. It reflects the theoretical and historiographical impact of his work, written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this unit. Currently it is located in Lampeter, Wales, hosted by the University of Wales Trinity University since 2000, and named Alister Hardy Religious Experience Research Centre (RERC).
