This book presents a new reading of Hegel's philosophy of religion, focusing on the mediating role of habit between nature and spirit. It explores how the death of the animal becomes central to the emergence of spirit and how religious practice (cultus) functions as a habitual form of reconciliation. Engaging Hegel's Encyclopedia, Phenomenology of Spirit, and Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, it situates these questions within debates in postcolonial studies, critical animal theory, and philosophy of religion. The result is a vital contribution to Hegel scholarship and contemporary reflections on (post-)humanity, animality, and religion.
