Volume 10: Philosophy of Religion Paperback / softback
Edited by Guttorm Floistad
Part of the Contemporary Philosophy: A New Survey series
Paperback / softback
Description
The present volume is a continuation of the series Contemporary Philosophy.
As with the earlier volumes in the series, the present Chronicles purport to give a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophy.
The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the years.
The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before.
The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the increasing contact between p- losophers from various cultures, the emergence of new schools of thought, particularly in philosophical logic and in the philosophy of language and ethics, and the increasing attention being paid to the h- tory of philosophy in discussions of contemporary problems, are the most important contributing factors.
Surveys of the present kind are a valuable source of knowledge of this complexity.
The surveys may therefore help to strengthen the Socratic element of modern philosophy, the intercultural dialogue or Kommunikationsgemeinschaft.
So far, nine volumes have been published in this series, viz.
P- losophy of Language and Philosophical Logic (Volume 1), Philosophy of Science (Volume 2), Philosophy of Action (Volume 3), Philosophy of Mind (Volume 4), African Philosophy (Volume 5), Medieval Age P- losophy (Volumes 6/1 and 6/2), Asian Philosophy (Volume 7), Philo- phy of Latin America (Volume 8), and Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art (Volume 9).
