Bücher der Reihe Intensities: Contemporary Continental Philosophy of Religion

This book breaks new ground in religious and philosophical thinking on the concept of life. It captures a moment in which such thinking is regaining its force and attraction for scholars, and the relevance of thought to social, cultural, political and religious dilemmas about how and why to live.

This book examines the question of death in the light of Heidegger's paradigmatic discussion in Being and Time. Pattison reveals where and how Heidegger and theology part ways but also how Heidegger can helpfully challenge theology to rethink one of its own fundamental questions.

Unearthing the ways in which the myths of Christian patriarchy have historically inhibited and prohibited women from thinking and writing their own ideas, this book covers fresh ground for revisioning the epistemic practices of philosophers.

Beginning from the proposition that prayer is a theme that occurs throughout Lacoste's writing, and using this proposition as a heuristic through which to view, interpret and critique his thought, this book examines Lacoste's place amid both the recent "theological turn" in French thought and the post war emergence of la nouvelle theologie.
