Synopsis

The concerns of philosophy and of religion overlap to a considerable extent. Each seeks, among other things, to develop an account of mankind's place in the universe. But their relationship has never been an easy one - faith gives rise to philosophical puzzlement just as secular beliefs do, but it also generates special philosophical questions that secular beliefs do not. Surveying traditional and contemporary views on the often troubled relationship between philosophical reason and religious faith, this is an introduction to the subject for students of both philosophy and religion. It acknowledges religious pluralism and the relevance of non-Christian religious views.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

``This is a fine little book-well conceived, nicely developed, and clearly written. Though short, it covers every important issue relevant to its topic. The balance between historical and contemporary fig-ures is good, and the discussions of both are accurate and insightful. It is an excellent text for courses in philosophy and reli- gious studies.``
