One of the marks of being a philosopher is participating in debates
about what counts as "philosophy." Of particular note in such
debates is the question of how to distinguish philosophy from
theology. Although a variety of answers to this question have been
offered in the history of philosophy, in recent decades, the
prominence of Christian philosophy has been heralded by many as a
genuine triumph over the problematic narrowness of strong
foundationalism, positivism, and scientism. For others, however, it
signals that philosophy continues to risk being replaced by
confessional theology. Wherever one comes down on such issues, and
however one interprets recent trends in philosophy of religion, the
idea of Christian philosophy continues to present pressing
questions for those working in meta-philosophy, epistemology,
metaphysics, hermeneutics, and value theory. In this volume,
established scholars representing a variety of cultural traditions,
religious perspectives, and philosophical priorities all wrestle
with how the idea of Christian philosophy should be understood,
appropriated, and engaged in light of where philosophy is and where
it is likely to go. The volume includes classical essays that have
deeply marked the field and also new essays that explore the
relevance of Christian philosophy to issues in disability studies,
engaged pedagogy, lived phenomenology, the academic study of
religion, and the workings of social power. Rather than offer a
unified view that seeks to settle things, the contributors
demonstrate that Christian philosophy remains a topic of lively
debate. Wherever one comes down on the issues considered here, this
volume shows that Christian philosophy is neither merely of
historical interest, nor of interest only to Christians, but
instead remains a thoroughly philosophical topic worthy of serious
consideration and substantive critique. With a Foreword by Nicholas
Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical
Theology at Yale University; Senior Research Fellow in the
Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of
Virginia; and Honorary Professor of Australian Catholic University.
