Met dit boek wil de auteur reageren op de heropflakkering van de atheïstische reflex in hoofde van sommige politici, wetenschappers en journalisten in België om de ruimte voor religie terug te verwijderen uit de Belgische grondwet zoals die opgenomen werd in de grondwet van de jonge democratische staat in 1830. Hiertoe werd een grondige analyse gemaakt van het fenomeen religie zoals dit bekeken wordt vanuit de tien wetenschappen: antropologie, neurologie, theologie, filosofie, historiografie, psychologie, sociologie, rechtsleer, taal en kunst. Op basis van deze analyse komt de auteur tot het besluit dat religie, die de belangstelling van 85% van de wereldbevolking geniet, zeker ook een toekomst heeft.

Godenschemering? van Daniël de Waele is een theologische cultuurgeschiedenis die de evolutie van het geloof in God uitdiept in de loop der tijd. Israël ontdekte in een polytheïstische wereld de Ene God, die door de tijd heen steeds humaner werd en dichterbij kwam. Hoe is het geloof na die grote stap geëvolueerd? Hoe past het verdampen van het geloof, dat uiteindelijk eindigde in de dood van God, in deze evolutie? En welke rol heeft het bestormen van de godenbeelden gespeeld? De Waele ontwaart naast deze geloofsevolutie een andere geschiedenis: een blijvende zoektocht naar de ene God.

Mainstream philosophy of religion has persistently failed to engage seriously or critically with animist beliefs and practices. The field that is now called "philosophy of religion" could quite easily be renamed "philosophy of theism" with few lecturers on the subject having to change their lecture notes. It is the aim of this volume to rectify that failure and to present animism as a live option among the plethora of religious worldviews. The volume addresses four major questions: 1. What is this thing called "animism"? 2. Are there any arguments for or against animist belief and practice? 3. What is the relationship between animism, naturalism, and the sciences? And 4. Should we take animism seriously? Animism and Philosophy of Religion is intended to be the first authoritative scholarly volume on the issue of animism and its place in the philosophy of religion. Ambitiously, it aims to act as the cornerstone volume for future work on the subject and as a key text for courses engaging with the subject. Tiddy Smith is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Massey University. He is the author of The Methods of Science and Religion (Rowman and Littlefield) and has published various articles in journals such as the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Erkenntnis, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, and Philosophia.

""This new work by Jürgen Habermas is also a history of philosophy. It presents, in the style of a genealogy, how the now dominant figures of Western postmetaphysical thinking arose. Habermas takes as his guide the discourse on faith and knowledge that developed out of two powerful Axial Age traditions in the Roman Empire. He traces how Western philosophy successively liberated itself from its symbiosis with religion and became secularized. From a systematic perspective, he elaborates the decisive conflicts, learning processes and caesuras, as well as the accompanying transformations in science, law, politics and society. But Habermas's new book is not just a history of philosophy: it is also a reflection on the task of a philosophy committed to the reasonable freedom of communicatively socialized subjects. The task of philosophy, he argues, is to clarify what our growing scientific knowledge of the world means for us - for us as human beings, as inhabitants of the modern world and as individuals. Published in English in three volumes, this major new work by one of the world's leading thinkers will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy and its contemporary relevance.""--

This book critically assesses arguments for the existence of the God of classical theism, develops an innovative account of objects' persistence, and defends new arguments against classical theism. The authors engage the following classical theistic proofs: Aquinas's First Way, Aquinas's De Ente argument, and Feser's Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic, Augustinian, Thomistic, and Rationalist proofs. The authors also provide the first systematic treatment of the 'existential inertia thesis'. By connecting the thesis to relativity theory and recent developments in the philosophy of physics, and by developing a variety of novel existential-inertia-friendly explanations of persistence, they mount a formidable new case against classical theistic proofs. Finally, they defend new arguments against classical theism based on abstract objects and changing divine knowledge. The text appeals to students, researchers, and others interested in classical theistic proofs, the existence and nature of God, and the ultimate explanations of persistence, change, and contingency.
