Description
At the mid-point of the 20th century, philosophy was heavily dominated by the spirit of positivism - the view that science offered the acceptable paradigms of intelligible discourse. In the heyday of positivism, philosophy mostly played the role of hostile critic of religious belief. Now that the hegemony of positivism has passed, a new diversity of perspectives has emerged. Fresh insights have been gained, and some of the best work in philosophy of religion has been sympathetic to religion. The volume is a collection of 27 recently published articles in philosophy of religion, grouped under eight categories: justifying religious belief, evil, immortality, religious language, gender, comparative religion, self-awareness, and the discipline of philosophy of religion. - from Amzon
