Thomas D. Carroll is Associate Professor in Philosophy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China.

Rethinking Philosophy of Religion with Wittgenstein makes a strikingly original contribution not only to a ‘globally engaged’ philosophy of religion and to Wittgenstein studies, but also to the broader fields of the study of religions and comparative philosophy. Exhibiting a deep and nuanced understanding of Wittgenstein’s methods, Carroll deftly brings them into productive and critical dialogue with issues concerning the concept of religion, the intersection between religion and racism, and Chinese religious and philosophical traditions. The work thus has both cross-cultural and interdisciplinary scope.
