The Relationship of Philosophy to Religion Today is a collection of texts authored by philosophers with an interest in contemporary philosophy of religion, its merits and its limitations. The collection has been stimulated by such questions as: “What ought philosophy of religion be?” and “How ought philosophy relate to religion today?” In pursuing such questions, the editors have asked the contributors to offer their insights and reflections on issues that they see as important to contemporary philosophy of religion, with the goal of producing a collection of texts offering the reader a variety of perspectives without privileging any particular philosophical, religious or irreligious orientation. The book covers such themes as the relationship between religion and modernity, faith in keeping with reason, contemplation, the merits and limitations of the atheism, and the relationship between philosophy, religion and politics.

Paolo Diego Bubbio is an Italian philosopher currently working at the University of Sydney, Australia. He is the author of two monographs in Italian, and has recently edited the first-ever English translation of works by the Italian philosopher Luigi Pareyson (Existing, Interpretation, Freedom: Selected Writings, Davies Group Publishers, 2009).

Philip Quadrio is a Sydney-based philosopher who also has a background in religious studies. He is the author of Towards a Theory of Organic Relations: Hegel’s Social Theory from Tübingen to Jena (LAP, 2010) and co-editor of Politics and Religion in the New Century: Philosophical Perspectives (USP, 2009).

  • A stimulating collection of essays from diverse perspectives, both theoretical and practical, in which the authors reflect on the current state of philosophy of religion and the relationship between the religious and the philosophical enterprises. It makes interesting reading for all who care about the future of the subject.
    - —John Cottingham University of Reading and Heythrop College, University of London, England
  • This is a fascinating collection of philosophical papers focused on contemporary issues in religion and philosophy of religion. The editors have done very well to collect papers that explore this theme through a variety of philosophical perspectives and from different orientations. It is a unique and timely offering on a subject matter that is increasingly important to contemporary philosophy.
    - —Simon Critchley New School for Social Research, New York, USA
  • [This book's] concern is not with this or that argument in the philosophy of religion, but with what the relation between philosophy and religion is, has been, could be and (its editors say) should be. Some of the essays are theoretically oriented while others focus on the cultural and political possibilities of a critically self-reflective philosophical engagement with religion. They span the divide between analytical and continental philosophy. The editors hope that The Relationship of Philosophy to Religion Today will contribute ‘towards a more fulsome engagement with religion as a phenomenon worthy of philosophical reflection.' Their hope has, I believe, been fulfilled.
