Knowledge, Belief, and God: New Insights in Religious Epistemology

Editat de Matthew A. Benton, John Hawthorne, Dani Rabinowitz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 feb 2018
Recent decades have seen a fertile period of theorizing within mainstream epistemology which has had a dramatic impact on how epistemology is done. Investigations into contextualist and pragmatic dimensions of knowledge suggest radically new ways of meeting skeptical challenges and of understanding the relation between the epistemological and practical environment. New insights from social epistemology and formal epistemology about defeat, testimony, a priority, probability, and the nature of evidence all have a potentially revolutionary effect on how we understand our epistemological place in the world. Religion is the place where such rethinking can potentially have its deepest impact and importance. Yet there has been surprisingly little infiltration of these new ideas into philosophy of religion and the epistemology of religious belief. Knowledge, Belief, and God incorporates these myriad new developments in mainstream epistemology, and extends these developments to questions and arguments in religious epistemology. The investigations proposed in this volume offer substantial new life, breadth, and sophistication to issues in the philosophy of religion and analytic theology. They pose original questions and shed new light on long-standing issues in religious epistemology; and these developments will in turn generate contributions to epistemology itself, since religious belief provides a vital testing ground for recent epistemological ideas.

Recenzii

an overall very high standard of ... contributions ... a fascinating field of discussion beyond the familiar or even well-trodden paths of the continentental tradition and reformed epistemology.
[This book] is rich in suggestions for future reflection
The collection of papers in this volume is impressive. All of the papers are solid pieces of scholarly work...
The papers are very good, and the book delivers what its title advertises: lots of new insights in religious epistemology. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to dig into cutting-edge religious epistemology.
This collection is brimming with insights for religious epistemology and more sparingly contains signposts toward new directions for the field
It gives a survey of the different views and new ideas that exist in the epistemology of religion. The book contains extremely valuable essays and it should be recommended to anyone with an interest in religious epistemology.
This collection is, on the whole, a sizable step forward in the epistemology of religion ... and warmly recommended. The editors have engaged a cast of high-powered, creative, analytic philosophers who go well beyond what are now the stock battles on the topic.
