Models of Interpretation and Masing: How to Read „Üldine usundilugu“?

Summary/Abstract: On models of interpretation and Uku Masing or how to understand „Üldine usundilugu“? This article deals with the issue of using conceptual and historical models for the purposes of interpreting Uku Masing. Primary focus is on his major work, „Üldine usundilugu“ and how it has been understood over the years and why these interpretations are misleading. Instead, an alternative reading of this book is presented. This is used to exemplify the more complex methodological problem of relying on historical and conceptual models in research. It is argued that this has become too prevalent in research on Masing. Instead, more attention should be paid to the actual intellectual context of Masing’s development, the fields of research and the schools of thought he himself is in clear dialogue with.
