Beskrivning

In this global introduction to philosophy of religion you begin not with a single tradition, but with religious philosophies from East Asia, South Asia, West Africa, and Native North America, alongside the classical Abrahamic and modern European traditions.Matching this diversity of traditions, chapters are organized around questions that acknowledge there is no single understanding of any god or ultimate reality. Instead you approach six different traditions of philosophizing about religion by asking questions about the journeys of both the self and the cosmos such as “What is my path?” and “Where did the cosmos come from?” Accompanied by introductory materials and an extensive glossary, each chapter includes learning objectives, questions for discussion, and suggested primary and secondary sources. The categories of religion and philosophy are interrogated throughout.Equipped with study tools and universal questions about the self and the cosmos, Philosophies of Religion: A Global and Critical Introduction shows you how to philosophize about religions around the world.

Recensioner i media

Philosophies of Religion is a stunning intellectual achievement, from one of the world’s pioneers in forging a properly global and critical path within philosophy of religion. This is the undergraduate textbook for which we’ve been desperately waiting. In a field plagued by parochialism and cultural innocence, Knepper is lighting the way forward, dragging all of us into a new era of enlightened research and teaching. Masterpiece!
