This collection provides the first in-depth introduction to the
theory of the religious imagination put forward by renowned
philosopher Douglas Hedley, from his earliest essays to his
principal writings. Featuring Hedley’s inaugural lecture
delivered at Cambridge University in 2018, the book sheds light on
his robust concept of religious imagination as the chief power of
the soul’s knowledge of the Divine and reveals its importance in
contemporary metaphysics, ethics and politics. Chapters trace the
development of the religious imagination in Christian Platonism
from Late Antiquity to British Romanticism, drawing on Origen,
Henry More and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, before providing a survey
of alternative contemporary versions of the concept as outlined by
Karl Rahner, René Girard and William P. Alston, as well as within
Indian philosophy. By bringing Christian Platonist thought into
dialogue with contemporary philosophy and theology, the volume
systematically reveals the relevance of Hedley’s work to current
debates in religious epistemology and metaphysics. It offers a
comprehensive appraisal of the historical contribution of
imagination to religious understanding and, as such, will be of
great interest to philosophers, theologians and historians alike.
