Beskrivning
The End of Philosophy of Religion explores the hitherto unchartered waters of the 'meta-philosophy of religion', that is, the methods and assumptions underlying the divergent ways of writing and studying the philosophy of religion that have emerged over the last century. It is also a first-class study of the weaknesses of the analytic approach in philosophy, particularly when it is applied to religious and aesthetic experience. Nick Trakakis' main line of argument is twofold. Firstly, the Anglo-American analytic tradition of philosophy, by virtue of its attachment to scientific norms of rationality and truth, inevitably struggles to come to terms with the mysterious and transcendent reality that is disclosed in religious practice.Secondly, and more positively, alternatives to analytic philosophy of religion are available, not only within the various schools of so-called Continental philosophy, but also in explicitly narrative and literary approaches.

Recensioner i media

'This is an insightful, sensitive and judicious book, full of careful distinctions, and it avoid tirades or over the top criticisms of either side. The book will be of interest to students and faculty working in the areas of analytic and continental philosophy of religion. There is a niche for this because there is very little sensible material out there, discussions of real worth, on the analytic/continental divide.' -- John D. Caputo, The Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Humanities and Professor of Philosophy, Syracuse University, NY, USA
