Book Description
How should we understand religion, and what place should it hold, in an age in which metaphysics has come into disrepute? The metaphysical assumptions which supported traditional theologies are no longer widely accepted, but it is not clear how this 'end of metaphysics' should be understood, nor what implications it ought to have for our understanding of religion. At the same time there is renewed interest in the sacred and the divine in disciplines as varied as philosophy, psychology, literature, history, anthropology, and cultural studies. In this volume, leading philosophers in the United States and Europe address the decline of metaphysics and the space which this decline has opened for non-theological understandings of religion. The contributors include Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor, Jean-Luc Marion, Gianni Vattimo, Hubert Dreyfus, Robert Pippin, John Caputo, Adriaan Peperzak, Leora Batnitzky, and Mark Wrathall.
Review
'Religion after metaphysics is a valuable volume. It provides a clear overview of a complex and still heated debate, written by some of its prominent participants and a number of excellent critics a good general introduction to post-metaphysical thought on religion, highlighting the inevitable aporias involved a must have for anyone interested in philosophical thinking about the questions of contemporary religion and theology.'
'This intense and profound book performs the very approach it recommends, by demonstrating throughout intellectual virtues of patience, attention, rigour and commitment, Janz writes well and in a style refreshingly free from self-indulgent obscurity.' -- Times Literary Supplement
