AB - This article seeks to explore Georg Simmel's religious thought in terms of emancipation of religiosity from religion and religion as self-transcendence. Simmel has long emphasized that the mental situation of modern human being is entering a state of crisis and must open new horizons of cultural creation, including religion to overcome it. He argued that religion as an objective culture at that time was not able to move the inner dimension of human being, and now we have to go beyond the creation of a new form and question the principle of form itself. This can have a significant consequence from today's point of view in terms of the pursuit of interiority without form. The mental situation that we face today is also urgently needed to reorient in the face of the new reality of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Human beings must now re-establish their relations with the world and with society, and the overall way of understanding the world is bound to change. In this background, if institutionalized religions no longer have the limits to satisfy the human spirit world, we must seek new forms of religious relations. In this process, Simmel's view of ‘a self-transcendence of life and human being’ can still provide meaningful implications.
