Reflections on the Religious, the Ethical, and the Political
presents fourteen essays devoted to the interconnected topics of
religion, ethics, and politics, along with an introductory
interview with the author regarding his philosophical development
over the years. This volume serves two interconnected purposes: as
an introduction or reintroduction to Professor Schrag's
intellectual contributions to a critical consideration of these
three topics, and as a critical companion and supplement to
Schrag's published work on these topics, starting with Existence
and Freedom (1961), working all the way through to Doing Philosophy
with Others (2010). The topics of religion, ethics, and politics
have served as pivot points throughout Schrag's career in the
academy, which spans half a century. Part One, Religion and the
Post-Secular Turn in Continental Philosophy, includes contributions
to the traditions of philosophical discussion regarding matters of
ontology, religious epistemology, existentialism, transcendence,
and the problem of evil, all informed by the myriad resources of
twentieth-century philosophy.Part Two, Transvaluation of the
Ethical and the Political, considers topics of moral experience,
interpersonal alterity, cross-cultural dialogue, and postnational
identity, all against the backdrop of a radicalized understanding
of the gift. Throughout, this volume gives voice to a distinctive
Schragean philosophy of religion, morality, and political praxis.
This approach is heavily rooted in a critical dialogue with all
relevant modes of philosophical and theological discourse,
including phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, critical
social theory, postmodernism, deconstruction, and postsecular
philosophy of religion. In conversation with the post/modern and
deconstructive approaches that held sway during the second half of
the twentieth century, Schrag charts a transversal path that
reenergizes the philosophy of the human subject in its religious,
ethical, and political dimensions.
