Much philosophical thinking about religion in the Anglophone world
has been hampered by the constraints of Eurocentrism, colonialism
and orientalism. Addressing such limitations head-on, this exciting
collection develops models for exploring global diversity in order
to bring philosophical studies of religion into the globalized 21st
century. Drawing on a wide range of critical theories and
methodologies, and incorporating ethnographic, feminist,
computational, New Animist and cognitive science approaches, an
international team of contributors outline the methods and aims of
global philosophy of religion. From considering the importance of
orality in African worldviews to interacting with Native American
perspectives on the cosmos and investigating contemplative studies
in Hinduism, each chapter demonstrates how expertise in different
methods can be applied to various geographical regions, building
constructive options for philosophical reflections on religion.
Diversifying Philosophy of Religion raises important questions
regarding who speaks for and represents religious traditions,
setting the agenda for a truly inclusive philosophy of religion
that facilitates multiple standpoints.
