In The Ends of Philosophy of Religion, Timothy D. Knepper advances
a new, historically grounded and religiously diverse program for
the philosophy of religion. Knepper first critiques existing
efforts in analytic and continental philosophy of religion for
neglect of diversity among its objects and subjects of inquiry, as
well as for failing to thickly describe, formally compare, and
critically evaluate historical acts of reason-giving in the
religions of the world. Knepper then constructs an alternative
vision for the philosophy of religion, one in which religious
reason-giving is described with empathetic yet suspicious
sensitivity, compared with methodological and categorical
awareness, and explained and evaluated with a plurality of
resources and criteria."The Ends of Philosophy of Religion casts a
critical eye over both analytic and continental philosophy of
religion and finds an ailment that besets them both. Knepper
provides an analysis that is not only clear and eloquent but also
sometimes frustrated and angry one. This gives his book the feeling
of a manifesto, something I judge that the discipline needs." -
Kevin Schilbrack, Professor, Philosophy and Religion Department,
Western Carolina University, USA"Philosophy of religion is entering
a new dawn, beyond the Western confines of bare theism and pale
postmodernism, and towards the religions of the world, Eastern and
Western, in all their rich diversity and complexity. Knepper's
timely and insightful book outlines these broad and deep changes
that have yet to be acknowledged by practitioners from both the
analytic and Continental schools." - Nick Trakakis, Assistant
Director of the Centre for the Philosophy and Phenomenology of
Religion, Australian Catholic University, Australia"Those of us who
believe philosophy of religion should be about religion in all its
complexity and diversity will welcome this book with relief.
Knepper attacks the pretense of using the phrase 'philosophy of
religion' to describe parochial philosophy of western theism or the
disorganized religious insights of postmodern philosophers. He
argues for historically grounded philosophy of religions,
up-to-date on religious studies, and fearless about analyzing
reasons for religious beliefs and practices. This is the kind of
philosophy of religion that belongs in university religious studies
departments. Here's hoping it catches on quickly." - Wesley J.
Wildman, Professor of Philosophy, Theology, and Ethics, Boston
University School of Theology, US
