The End of Philosophy of Religion
Autor Dr. Nick Trakakisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2011
The
End
of
Philosophy
of
Religionexplores
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.

Recenzii
'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.'

'Analytic philosophers tend to think of Continental philosophy as loose and literary, while Continental philosophers usually see analytic philosophy as narrow, pseudo-scientific, and abstracted from history. The best place for a conversation between them to begin is the philosophy of religion, and in his bold new work Nick Trakkakis does just that. The result: a meta-philosophy of religion, one that will perhaps retire some old debates and rejuvenate the field by redirecting many of its concerns about substance and style.' -- Kevin J. Hart, University of Virginia, USA
"Trakakis offers an important and bracing account of Philosophy of Religion and its End, and calls for us to think and imagine it anew. [...] This new broadened wisdom is supple enough to conceive religion and God in different and powerful ways, attentive to the incredible suffering of the world and the stakes of what it would mean to instantiate love in it. Philosophers of religion of all sorts should be grateful to Trakakis for his work of love."-- The International Journal of Philosophy of Religion
"The bulk of the book is one of the first comprehensive studies within the meta-philosophy of religion and it evidences all of the qualities of careful and perspicuous scholarship that have characterized Trakakis's earlier work." -- Religious Studies
