In this tenth volume of the highly respected Boston University
Studies in Philosophy and Religion series, contributors explore new
approaches to the role of freedom in the contemporary world. It is
clear that the idea of freedom has progressed with autonomous
selfhood. But it is not yet evident how freedom is to be understood
or promoted in a context where economic, political, cultural, and
religious issues demand both pluralism and globalization. The
essays consider three major areas of the debate. The first group of
essays is concerned with the relation of Christian thought to
freedom in the post-Christian age. Philosophical reconstructions of
the idea of freedom are the focus of Part II, which investigates
how the past and present can be used to create a new idea of
freedom. Part III explores the possibility that individual selves
are no more autonomous that they are social and asks the question:
"What can we learn about the freedom of the self from contemporary
social philosophies like Marxism and feminism and the unprecedented
phenomenon of manmade mass death?" Contributors: Nicholas Lash,
Jurgen Moltmann, David W. Tracy, and Robert C. Neville on
Theologies of Freedom; John E. Smith, Frithof Bergmann, James R.
Langford, and J.N. Mohanty on Philosophies of Freedom; Louis Dupre,
Ruth L. Smith, and Edith Wyschogrod on Freedom in Society.
