Beskrivning

Reflections on the Religious, the Ethical, and the Political presents fourteen essays devoted to the interconnected topics of religion, ethics, and politics, along with an introductory interview with the author regarding his philosophical development over the years. This volume serves two interconnected purposes: as an introduction or reintroduction to Calvin O.Schrag’s intellectual contributions to a critical consideration of these three topics, and as a critical companion and supplement to Schrag’s published work on these topics. The topics of religion, ethics, and politics have served as pivot points throughout Schrag’s career in the academy, which spans half a century.

Reflections on the Religious, the Ethical, and the Political also displays the philosophical virtues that Schrag’s readers have come to expect of his writing. Consisting primarily of previously published essays, this book offers a rich introduction to some of Schrag’s key ideas: the notion of “transversality,” “the ethic of the fitting response,” and “postnational identity.” Praise is due to Michael R. Paradiso-Michau for his editorial work in so carefully selecting the essays that are included in this volume. These essays span much of Schrag’s career and, accordingly, do a nice job of showing how Schrag’s ideas have importantly remained consistent in some general ways and yet changed and developed in other ways. . . .In the end, this is a book worth reading and taking seriously. It is clearly written, well argued, and attentive to persistent questions in religious, ethical, and political existence. Paradiso-Michau has done philosophy a service by bringing together these valuable essays by an important philosopher
