Theological Reflections on Pluralism and Anarchy
Paul Feyerabend’s epistemological anarchism offers a framework for considering pluralism in theological methodology, fostering interfaith dialogue, and exploring the ethical dimensions of religious diversity to deepen understanding of human spirituality and promote human transformation. Theologians could benefit from considering Feyerabend’s perspective to avoid excessive influence from prevailing trends and to maintain a balance between clarity …
William Wainwright's Legacy from A Chinese Perspective
In 2009, I had the opportunity to meet William J. Wainwright at an academic conference in Hong Kong. Our conversations and his insightful presentation profoundly impacted my understanding of his contributions to the philosophy of religion. The context of our meeting inspired me to reflect on his legacy from a Chinese perspective. Wainwright's work stands out for its alignment with key aspects of Chinese philosophical traditions, particularly in i…
The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology
The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology, the first to appear on the topic, introduces the current state of religious epistemology and provides a discussion of fundamental topics related to the epistemology of religious belief. Its wide-ranging chapters not only survey fundamental topics, but also develop non-traditional epistemic theories and explore the religious epistemology endorsed by non-Western traditions. In the first section, Fai…

Global philosophy of religion(s)
Drawing on the work of Mark Siderits, Jay Garfield, and others, I introduce a global approach to the philosophy of religion that is inspired by ‘fusion’, ‘engagement’, or ‘confluence’ philosophy. To globalize the philosophy of religion requires more than expanding its traditional disciplinary scope or broadening its range of questions; it requires philosophers who are conversant in more than one philosophical tradition. I argue that this approach…
CoronaGothic
It was a morning like any other, until the videos began pouring in. Bodies in bags being carried out of buildings, masked police in the streets, images of bats and viruses everywhere. A great plague was upon us, and as the days went by, it got closer and the reaction to it became more intense. We all retreated into our homes, cut off from each other, our public identities erased by masks. We experienced not ordinary fear, but genuine horror, inco…
Mathematical objects and the object of theology
This article brings mathematical realism and theological realism into conversation. It outlines a realist ontology that characterizes abstract mathematical objects as inaccessible to the senses, non-spatiotemporal, and acausal. Mathematical realists are challenged to explain how we can know such objects. The article reviews some promising responses to this challenge before considering the view that the object of theology also possesses the three …
Seeing the Dao
This article suggests that different philosophical traditions have developed and matured around particular conceptual metaphors. It proposes that conceptual metaphor theory provides a useful tool with which to think about different world philosophical traditions, as it can reveal the deep structure of networks of ideas. Conceptual metaphors are not just linguistic devices; rather they organize whole networks of thought, experience, and activity. …
An Internalist Pluralist Solution to the Problem of Religious and Ethical Diversity
Probability In The Philosophy Of Religion
These essays show that philosophy of religion is fertile ground for the application of probabilistic thinking. The authors examine central topics in the field: the status of evidence relating to the question of the existence of God; the rationality of religious belief; and the epistemic significance of religious disagreement
Eastern philosophy
Eastern Philosophy: The Basics is an essential introduction to major Indian and Chinese philosophies, both past and present. Exploring familiar metaphysical and ethical questions from the perspectives of different Eastern philosophies, including Confucianism, Daoism, and strands of Buddhism and Hinduism, this book covers key figures, issues, methods and concepts. Throughout the book the relationships between Eastern Philosophy, Western Philosophy…
Hermeneutics, religious language and the Qur'an
The question, ‘Are religious propositions meaningful?’, which dominated thought about religious language after the turn of the mid-twentieth century, was rapidly made redundant by the understanding of language promoted by thinkers associated with hermeneutical philosophy. Instead of arguing about whether or not religious language was meaningful, philosophers and theologians explored the various ways in which religious language is rendered meaning…
Representing the Divine
This article examines some of the problems androcentric religious anthropologies raise for Jewish, Christian and Muslim women-particularly, with respect to their demand to occupy leadership roles within their respective faith-communities-while also considering the failure of conservative thinkers adequately to respond to these problems. Focusing on the connection between religious anthropologies and the conception of God within the Abrahamic fait…
Modern Women, Traditional Abrahamic Religions and Interpreting Sacred Texts
This article surveys some of the ways in which certain representative feminists from each of the Abrahamic religions have argued that patriarchal religious traditions have systematically excluded women from contributing to traditionally accepted interpretations of their sacred texts. It shows how, in response to this exclusion, feminist theologians from each of these religions have observed a need to interpret the scriptures of their traditions f…
Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments
For Søren Kierkegaard, ‘How is it possible for one to become a disciple?’ was the fundamental question. The Philosophical Fragments , first published in 1844 under the pseudonym of Johannes Climacus, propounds a hypothetical metaphysical framework within which an answer to this question is formulated. This framework is usually construed simply as a general account of what must be the case if Christianity is true. But this has given rise to some p…
