Pragmatism and the Theory of Religion
Redaktion: Deuser, Hermann

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Varieties of Transcendence traces American pragmatist thought on religion and its relevance for theorizing religion today. The volume establishes pragmatist concepts of religious individualization as powerful alternatives to the more common secularization discourse. In stressing the importance of Josiah RoyceGCOs work, it emphasizes religious individualismGCOs compatibility with community. At the same time, by covering all of the major classical pragmatist theories of religion, it shows their kinship and common focus on the interrelation between the challenges of contingency and the semiotic significance of transcendence.
