Book Synopsis D.Z. Phillips' Contemplative Philosophy of Religion by : Andy F. Sanders
Download or read book D.Z. Phillips' Contemplative Philosophy of Religion written by Andy F. Sanders and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents a critical discussion and exploration of the late D.Z. Phillips' contemplative approach in the philosophy of religion. What are the main characteristics of this ground-breaking approach, which is inspired by thinkers like Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein and meant as a serious, critical alternative to the mainstream way of doing philosophy of religion? What is its aim, if it is deliberately avoiding apology and defence of faith? How does Phillips' approach relate to systematic, historical and empirical theology and is it really as 'neutral' as he claims it to be? Or is he, perhaps, a certain kind of theologian? What are the implications of his contemplative philosophy for central issues of religious life today, such as petitionary prayer, the hope of 'eternal life' and radical religious diversity? The essays of six distinguished scholars from five different nations critically and sympathetically address these questions and are responded to by Phillips in essays of his own, written briefly before his sudden death in July 2006.

Book Synopsis D. Z. Phillips on Religious Language, Religious Truth, and God by : Hyoseok Kim
Download or read book D. Z. Phillips on Religious Language, Religious Truth, and God written by Hyoseok Kim and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D. Z. Phillips (1934-2006) was one of the most influential, ingenious, and perhaps controversial thinkers in the Anglo-American philosophy of religion. In particular, he is widely regarded as a leading proponent of a Wittgensteinian approach to the philosophy of religion. While almost every book on religious language or Anglophone philosophy of religion deals with Phillips' thought or, at least, mentions his name, all too frequently his position has been grossly misunderstood and has often attracted unwarranted criticism from various sides. Seeking to offer a constructive presentation and critical discussion of Phillips' view of philosophy, religious language, religious truth, and God, Hyoseok Kim endeavors to resolve some misunderstandings, refute undue criticisms of Phillips' position, and make some suggestions concerning directions in which his view might and ought to be further developed.

Book Synopsis Faith and Philosophical Enquiry by : D.Z. Phillips
Download or read book Faith and Philosophical Enquiry written by D.Z. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern of this book is the nature of religious belief and the ways in which philosophical enquiry is related to it. Six chapters present the positive arguments the author wishes to put forward to discusses religion and rationality, scepticism about religion, language-games, belief and the loss of belief. The remaining chapters include criticisms of some contemporary philosophers of religion in the light of the earlier discussions, and the implications for more specific topics, such as religious education, are investigated. The book ends with a general attempt to say something about the character of philosophical enquiry, and to show how important it is to realise this character in the philosophy of religion.
Book Synopsis Grammars of Faith by : P. F. Bloemendaal
Download or read book Grammars of Faith written by P. F. Bloemendaal and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D. Z. Phillips is a leading figure in advocating a Wittgensteinian approach to the philosophical study of religion. His writings exert an important influence on contemporary philosophy of religion, giving a new direction to the philosophical discussion of religious belief and practice. Although his work has prompted much - often critical - comment, a thorough investigation has not been forthcoming. Grammars of Faith fills that gap. The book pays close attention to Wittgenstein's own remarks on religious belief, arranging them against the background of his broader philosophical methodology, as well as to the efforts of the early Wittgensteinians at providing a more comprehensive Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion. Central to this study are Phillips's understanding of philosophical enquiry as a form of contemplation, and his descriptive accounts of religious belief. By means of a careful and methodical examination of Phillips's oeuvre, the study seeks to present a fair assessment of Phillips's position, showing not only its weaknesses, but also its strength.

Book Synopsis The Concept of Prayer (Routledge Revivals) by : D. Z. Phillips
Download or read book The Concept of Prayer (Routledge Revivals) written by D. Z. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many contemporary philosophers assume that, before one can discuss prayer, the question of whether there is a God or not must be settled. In this title, first published in 1965, D. Z. Phillips argues that to understand prayer is to understand what is meant by the reality of God. Beginning by placing the problem of prayer within a philosophical context, Phillips goes on to discuss such topics as prayer and the concept of talking, prayer and dependence, superstition and the concept of community. This is a fascinating reissue that will be of particular value to students with an interest in the philosophy of religion, prayer and religious studies more generally.
Book Synopsis Contemplating Religious Forms of Life: Wittgenstein and D.Z. Phillips by : Mikel Burley
Download or read book Contemplating Religious Forms of Life: Wittgenstein and D.Z. Phillips written by Mikel Burley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) made profound contributions to many areas of philosophy and cultural understanding, and his thought and methods have inspired numerous inquirers into the forms of our religious life. D. Z. Phillips (1934-2006) pioneered the application of Wittgenstein-influenced approaches to the philosophy of religion, and emphasized the contemplative, non-dogmatic nature of the philosophical task. In Contemplating Religious Forms of Life, Mikel Burley elucidates and critically examines the work of these two philosophers in relation to various aspects of religion, including ritual, mystical experience, faith and reason, realism and non-realism, conceptions of eternal life, and the use of literature as a resource for the contemplation of religious and non-religious beliefs. The book will be of significant value to academics, students and general readers interested in philosophy, religious studies, theology, and the interrelations between these disciplines.

Download or read book Recovering Religious Concepts written by D. Phillips and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-09-22 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here it is argued that we need to recover concepts from the distortions of philosophy. In this collection the author shows the disastrous consequences for an understanding of religion of the epistemic divides which can be found in contemporary philosophy of religion; divides between belief and practice, the world and God, religious experience and religious contexts. By closing these divides religious significance is given its proper place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the rare opportunity to assess, within a single volume, the leading schools of thought in contemporary philosophy of religion. Their exponents seek to meet objections made to their point of view and to relate it to the other schools represented. Further discussions between adherents of the different schools make it an ideal text for assessing the deep proximities and divisions which characterize contemporary philosophy of religion. The schools of thought represented are: Philosophical Theism, Reformed Epistemology, Wittgensteinianism, Postmodernism, Critical Theory and Process Thought.
Book Synopsis Religion and Friendly Fire by : D.Z. Phillips
Download or read book Religion and Friendly Fire written by D.Z. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In locating friendly fire in contemporary philosophy of religion, D.Z. Phillips shows that more harm can be done to religion by its philosophical defenders than by its philosophical despisers. Friendly fire is the result of an uncritical acceptance of empiricism, and Phillips argues that we need to examine critically the claims that individual consciousness is the necessary starting point from which we have to argue: for the existence of an external world and the reality of God; that God is a person without a body, a pure consciousness; and that to assent to a religious belief is essentially to assign a truth value to a proposition independent of any confessional context. When these products of friendly fire are avoided, we arrive at a new understanding of belief, trust and the soul, and refuse to say more or less than we know about the realities of human life in the service of religious apologetics.
Book Synopsis Whose God? Which Tradition? by : D.Z. Phillips
Download or read book Whose God? Which Tradition? written by D.Z. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy of Religion is marked by controversy over which philosophical accounts do justice to core religious beliefs. Many Wittgenstinian philosophers are accused by analytic philosophers of religion of distorting these beliefs. In Whose God? Which Tradition?, the accusers stand accused of the same by leading philosophers in the Thomist and Reformed traditions. Their criticisms alert us to the dangers of uncritical acceptance of dominant philosophical traditions, and to the need to do justice to the conceptual uniqueness of the reality of God. The dissenting voices breathe new life into the central issues concerning the nature of belief in God.
Book Synopsis Philosophy's Cool Place by : D. Z. Phillips
Download or read book Philosophy's Cool Place written by D. Z. Phillips and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludwig Wittgenstein established a "cool" stance for philosophy, contemplating the world without meddling in it. D. Z. Phillips explores this position, focusing on its implications for philosophical authorship and the philosophical investigation of the nature of reality. Influenced by the views of Wittgenstein and his pupil Rush Rhees, Phillips—who is one of Rhees's own students—first contrasts Wittgenstein's methods with Kierkegaard's religiously oriented dialectic. He describes the difficulty in sustaining a contemplative view of philosophy and discusses efforts to go beyond it in the work of Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell, Annette Baier, and Martha Nussbaum, who, in different ways, propose to make philosophy a guide to living. A provocative and challenging work, Philosophy's Cool Place is one of the few books that addresses the discipline as an enterprise and explores its relation to moral values, religious belief, and the nature of Reality. By advancing the cause of neutrality, it will stimulate debate and foster discussion of what philosophy is to become in the postmodern era.
