I want to know the answer to the following question:
What replaced theological studies in universities at the completion of the early modern period?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The hierarchical place of theological knowledge had for the most part been displaced and the humanities had become a fixture, and a new openness was beginning to take hold in the construction and dissemination of knowledge that were to become imperative for the formation of the modern state.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
