Medieval theology had an important influence on later philosophy
which is visible in the empiricisms of Russell, Carnap, and Quine.
Other thinkers, including McDowell, Kripke, and Dennett, show how
we can overcome the distorting effects of that theological
ecosystem on our accounts of the nature of reality and our
relationship to it. In a different philosophical tradition, Hegel
uses a secularized version of Christianity to argue for a kind of
human knowledge that overcomes the influences of late-medieval
voluntarism, and some twentieth-century thinkers, including
Benjamin and Derrida, instead defend a Jewish-influenced notion of
the religious sublime. Frank B. Farrell analyzes and connects
philosophers of different eras and traditions to show that modern
philosophy has developed its practices on a terrain marked out by
earlier theological and religious ideas, and considers how
different philosophers have both embraced, and tried to escape
from, those deep-seated patterns of thought.
