This Element looks at religious experience and the role it has played in philosophy of religion. It critically explores the history of the intertwined discourses on mysticism and religious experience, before turning to a few specific discussions within contemporary philosophy of religion. One debate concerns the question of perennialism vs. constructivism and whether there is a 'common core' to all religious or mystical experience independent of interpretation or socio-historical background. Another central discussion concerns the epistemology of purportedly theophanic experience and whether a perceptual model of religious experience can provide evidence or justification for theistic belief. The Element concludes with a discussion of how philosophy of religion can productively widen its treatment of religious experience in the service of creating a more inclusive and welcoming discipline.

Exploring how analytic philosophy of religion can expand its horizons to combat old biases, Amber L. Griffioen’s new book argues for reorientations in the discipline aimed at transforming it into a field that is simultaneously theoretically rigorous, socially relevant, and radically inclusive.Drawing on diverse philosophical resources, Griffioen brings the practical and imaginative aspects of religion to the fore as objects for philosophical reflection. Chapters include discussions of topics such as theological realism, religious epistemology, models of religious faith, the religious imagination, and the problem of evil. Ultimately, Griffioen argues for a “doxastically permissive” approach to the religious life understood as a form of deeply earnest play—one compatible with belief but not requiring it.Exploring traditional debates together with a consideration of their limits—and proposing alternative approaches that promise to move the discipline forward in exciting ways—Griffioen’s book is an essential resource for any scholar or student of philosophy of religion.

Tillfälligt slut
Der Begriff Religion ist für die Benennung des Gegenstandes sowohl der Religionswissenschaft als auch der Theologie unverzichtbar. Viele Ansätze versuchen sich an einer reduzierenden, essentialistischen, funktionalistischen oder vereinheitlichenden Definition, doch sie müssen dabei alle auf sehr unterschiedliche und oft kontroverse Vorannahmen zurückgreifen. Tatsächlich scheint es unmöglich, die Vielzahl der Bedeutungsmöglichkeiten von Religion zu fassen, wenn gleichzeitig die akademischen Disziplinen, die sich mit der Religion beschäftigen, sich immer weiter verzweigen und auseinanderstreben. Damit verhindern sie gleichzeitig die rationale Beschäftigung mit einem sehr wichtigen Teil der modernen Gesellschaft. Die Autoren der hier gesammelten Beiträge untersuchen interdisziplinär einen grundlegenden modernen Text, der - hier ist die Forschung sich einig - die Religionswissenschaften und die moderne Theologie mit hervorgebracht hat: Schleiermachers Reden über die Religion. Dieser Text bringt die wichtigsten kontroversen Themen zur Sprache, die Theologen und Religionswissenschaftler beschäftigen: erstens, die Bedeutung der Emotionen für das Verständnis von Religion; zweitens, die Rolle von Aussagen und Vorstellungen für religiöse Überzeugungen; drittens, die Bedeutung der Religion für die Gesellschaft; viertens, die politischen Auswirkungen von Religion.
