Philosophies of Religion

More about the book

In this global introduction to philosophy of religion you begin not with a single tradition, but with religious philosophies from East Asia, South Asia, West Africa, and Native North Americans. Matching this diversity of traditions, chapters are organised around questions that acknowledge there is no single understanding of god. Instead you approach Abrahamic, Yoruba, Lakota, and academic-contemporary philosophy of religion by asking: where do I come from? Where am I going? Where did the cosmos come from? Accompanied by an introduction, epilogue, and glossary, each chapter includes learning objectives, questions for discussion, and suggested primary and secondary sources. The categories of religion and philosophy are interrogated throughout.Equipped with study tools and universal questions about the self and the cosmos, Philosophies of Religion: A Global and Critical Introduction shows you how to philosophize about religions around the world.
