Most white philosophers of religion generally presume that philosophy of religion is based on what is a false universality; whereby the white/Western experience is paradigmatic of humanity at-large. The fact remains that Howard Thurman, James H. Cone and William R. Jones, among others, have produced a substantial amount of theological work quite worthy of consideration by philosophers of religion. Yet this corpus of thought is not reflected in the scholarly literature that constitutes the main body of philosophy of religion. Neglect and ignorance of African American Studies is widespread in the academy. By including chapters on Thurman, Cone and Jones, the present book functions as a corrective to this scholarly lacuna.

A work of maximally ambitious scope with a foundation in humility, Entanglements sets out a philosophical system of the sort rarely seen over the past century. In a discipline marked by greater and greater specialization and the narrowing of increasingly insular traditions and approaches, Crispin Sartwell has spent his career engaging widely across philosophical topics and texts. Here he brings together his philosophical positions in a unified system that is coherent across the issues and subdisciplines in the field. In addition to presenting his own theories of truth, knowledge, free will, beauty, and the political state, Sartwell's criticisms of other figures and movements provide an overview of the history of philosophy. The project of presenting an overarching philosophical system is a resolutely old-fashioned one, and in undertaking it, Sartwell is not only encapsulating an extraordinarily unique and productive career but also nudging philosophy back to its broader aims of explaining the world and our place in it.

La philosophie sociale de Cornel West. Comment affronter les problèmes du vivre-ensemble à l'heure de la diversité culturelle ? Quels moyens utiliser pour sortir les individus des logiques de fatalité et des dangers du découragement ? De quelle manière dépasser le pessimisme ambiant et redonner du souffle à nos sociétés ? Comment aider les plus violentés, ou humiliés, à s'aimer et à aimer, afin de retrouver le sens de la dignité et le goût des autres ? Et quelle place attribuer aux religions dont les formes extrêmes envahissent sans cesse nos écrans ? En analysant l'Amérique d'en-bas, celle des personnes les plus touchées par la discrimination, le philosophe Cornel West semble décrire, comme par un effet de miroir, la situation de nombreuses démocraties. Il aborde, ainsi, avec une subtile lucidité les questions que nous ne pouvons plus éviter. Alors que nos sociétés se trouvent secouées par des phénomènes d'intolérance et des formes inquiétantes de fragmentation sociale, le présent ouvrage donne des raisons de ne pas céder à la désespérance. Il offre, également, des ressources essentielles, aujourd'hui, pour retisser du lien. En dialoguant avec la pensée d'un des plus grands philosophes contemporains, l'auteur rend accessible au public francophone une éthique sociale audacieuse pour notre époque en mal de repères

In this highly original work, Mathew A. Foust breaks new ground in comparative studies through his exploration of the connections between Confucianism and the American Transcendentalist and Pragmatist movements. In his examination of a broad range of philosophers, including Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Charles Peirce, William James, and Josiah Royce, Foust traces direct lines of influence from early translations of Confucian texts and brings to light conceptual affinities that have been previously overlooked. Combining resources from both traditions, Foust offers fresh insights into contemporary problems and exemplifies the potential of cross-cultural dialogue in an increasingly pluralistic world.
