Art, Desire, and God
Bringing together thinkers from philosophy of religion, religious studies, music, art, and film, while drawing on a wealth of phenomenological resources and methods, a team of renowned scholars provide new vantages on the question of how art is an expression of the human desire for God. In three interrelated parts, chapters employ phenomenological tools to propose new ways for speaking of the desire for God. Scholars first draw upon music, sculpt…
Philosophical Hermeneutics and the Priority of Questions in Religions
"Buddhas, gods, prophets and oracles are often depicted as asking questions. But what are we to understand when Jesus asks 'Who do you say that I am?', or Mazu, the Classical Zen master asks, 'Why do you seek outside?' Is their questioning a power or weakness? Is it something we are only capable of due to our finitude? Is there any kind of question that is a power? Focusing on three case studies of questions in divine discourse on the level of st…
Where, Not When, Did the Cosmos ‘Begin’
Dialogue or Narrative? Exploring Tensions between Interpretations of Genesis 38
We examine dialectical tensions between "dialogue" and "narrative" as these discourses supplant one another as the fundamental discourse of intelligibility, through juxtaposing two interpretations of Genesis 38 rooted in changing interpretative paradigms. Is dialogue properly understood as a narrative genre, or is narrative the content about which people are in dialogue? Is the divine-human relationship a narrative drama or is it a dialogue betwe…
Master Questions, Student Questions, and Genuine Questions
I want to know whether Chan masters and students depicted in classical Chan transmission literature can be interpreted as asking open (or what I will call "genuine") questions. My task is significant because asking genuine questions appears to be a decisive factor in ascertaining whether these figures represent models for dialogue-the kind of dialogue championed in democratic society and valued by promoters of interreligious exchange. My study al…
A Hermeneutic for and from Reading Kierkegaard's For Self-Examination
This essay provides a close reading of Kierkegaard's later signed text, For Self-Examination. While many of Kierkegaard's pseudonymous texts often are selected for their philosophically explicit engagements with Hegelian philosophy, I use Hegel's dialectic of lordship and bondage to draw out how Kierkegaard circumvents it in this one. I first provide historical context, noting how Kierkegaard turned to earnest works after his public humiliation i…
A Zhuangzian Tangle
Posthumanist critics such as Braidotti-informed by the antihumanisms of Foucault, Irigaray, and Deleuze-seek to respond to advanced capitalism by promoting what they take to be a radical transformation of what it means to be "human," a way of conceiving being human that is thoroughly and consistently post-anthropocentric. Braidotti calls out advanced capitalism's global economy as being inconsistently post-anthropocentric. In response, I first la…
Feminisms and Challenges to Institutionalized Philosophy of Religion
For my invited contribution to this special issue of Religions on "Feminisms and the Study of 'Religions,'" I focus on philosophy of religion and contestations over its relevance to the academic field of Religious Studies. I amplify some feminist philosophers' voices-especially Pamela Sue Anderson-in corroboration with recent calls from Religious Studies scholars to diversify philosophy of religions in the direction of locating it properly within…
Linguistically mediated liberation
Transcendence Un-Extra-Ordinaire
I examine challenges to images of a personal god definitive for normatively policed theism (often called "traditional theism"), questioning whether a subject can be conscious of a transcendent being. I examine the challenges to show that disappointment with such images calls for rethinking terms like "transcendence" in horizontal rather than vertical registers. Through this, I indicate an irony in yearning for transcendence, one in which there is…
