Beschreibung

Do we all, today, live in a „secular age“? Examining this open question, the book focuses, in Part 1, „The (Re)Emerging Philosophical Discourse on Religion,“ on recent interpretations of human existence in Asian, European, and American thought. Part 2.1, „The Weakening of Dogmatic Scientism,“ discusses Wittgenstein’s, Derrida’s, Habermas’s, and Taylor’s critiques of (abstract modes of) Enlightenment. Part 2.2, „Various Approaches to Religious Faith in Pragmatism and Neo-Pragmatism,“ deals with the writings of Peirce, James, Dewey, Rorty, West, and Putnam, and explores the significance of Josiah Royce’s thought for contemporary global debates on religious belief.
