  • Religion and Friendly Fire

    D Z PhillipsBOOKReligion and Friendly Fire2017

    In locating friendly fire in contemporary philosophy of religion, D.Z. Phillips shows that more harm can be done to religion by its philosophical defenders than by its philosophical despisers. Friendly fire is the result of an uncritical acceptance of empiricism, and Phillips argues that we need to examine critically the claims that individual consciousness is the necessary starting point from which we have to argue: for the existence of an exter…

    God is said to be Spirit, but the language of spirit is ignored in contemporary philosophy of religion. As well as exploring the notion of spirit in Hegel, Romanticism and Kierkegaard, participants ex

  • Wittgenstein, Wittgensteinianism, and magic

    Open AccessD Z PhillipsARTICLEReligious Studies2003

    This paper takes issue with remarks by Brian Clack on the manner in which Wittgensteinian philosophers have interpreted religion. Clack attributes an expressivist interpretation of religion to Wittgensteinians. By reference to my own writings, and to those of Rush Rhees, I show how wide of the mark is this gloss on the Wittgensteinian tradition's approach to religion. In particular, the view that magico-religious rituals are cathartic is demonstr…

  • Dislocating the Soul

    Open AccessD Z PhillipsARTICLEReligious Studies1995

    Many analyses of belief in the soul ignore the soul in the words. Dislocations of concepts occur when words are divorced from their normal implications. The ‘soul’ is sometimes the dislocated utterer of such words. Pictures, including pictures of the soul leaving the body, may mislead us by suggesting applications which they, in fact, do not have. But pictures of the soul may enter people's lives as desires for a temporal eternity. Contrasting co…

  • The Presumption of Theory

    D Z PhillipsCHAPTERInterventions in Ethics1992

    Peter Winch's The Idea of a Social Science1 and his paper 'Understanding a Primitive Society'2 received widespread critical attention, but this has not been the case with his papers in moral philosophy reprinted in Ethics and Action. Why not? In all three contexts, Winch attacks the presumption of theory; theory which claims that it possesses the criteria of what is rational or worthwhile in human life. That presumption is so deeply engrained in …

    In his 1950 Marett Lecture, Professor Evans-Pritchard gave an account of important methodological developments which had taken place in social anthropology. I should like to use the occasion to concentrate on some of the deep contemporary divisions in another subject which interested R. R. Marett, namely, the philosophy of religion. I shall do so, however, by reference to some of the methodological issues which concerned Evans-Pritchard

    In approaching the topic, ‘Objectivity and Cultural Divergence’, there is little doubt that certain styles of philosophizing will conceive of the task confronting them as that of devising or at least calling attention to standards of rationality by which distinctions between objectivity and divergence are to be drawn. This mode of philosophizing is marked by the confidence it has in its own methods. It seldom occurs to it to question its own oper…
