Critical Corrington

Robert S. Corrington is Henry Anson Buttz Professor of Philosophical Theology, Emeritus, at Drew University. He is coeditor, with Kathleen A. Wallace and Armen Marsoobian, of Metaphysics of Natural Complexes, second, expanded edition, also by SUNY Press. Stephanie Theodorou is Adjunct Professor of Philosophy and World Religions at the Hellenic American University, Athens, Greece.

"Robert Corrington is one of the most creative and important philosophical theologians of his generation. Well-known for the development of a philosophical and theological perspective that he identifies as 'ecstatic naturalism,' his influence has been and continues to be significant. Nevertheless, that influence could be even greater if his writings were more accessible. This volume fills an important void, providing an accessible introduction for readers to the full range of Corrington’s thought." — Michael L. Raposa, Lehigh University
