Putting Desmond in conversation with John D. Caputo, an important philosopher of religion from the Continental tradition, Christopher Ben Simpson casts new light on Desmond's complex, multifaceted, and nuanced thought. The comparative approach allows Simpson to get at the core of recent debates in the philosophy of religion. He develops a rich understanding of how ethics and religion are informed by metaphysics, and contrasts this approach to the decidedly anti-metaphysical stance in Continental philosophy. Religion, Metaphysics, and the Postmodern presents a systematic analysis of Desmond's thought as it advances work on Caputo's thinking and on the philosophy of religion.Indiana series in the philosophy of religion.ReligionPhilosophyPhilosophy and religionReligionPhilosophy.Philosophy and religion.210.92Simpson Christopher Ben1973-1667228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811843203321Religion, metaphysics, and the postmodern4026938UNINA
