Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- 1 Pragmatic Aspects of Kantian Theism -- 2 Deweyan Pragmatic Religious Naturalism -- 3 Rorty versus Putnam: Neopragmatist Philosophy of Religion -- 4 The Jamesian Pragmatic Method in the Philosophy of Religion -- 5 The Problem of Evil and the Limits of Philosophy -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Index
Summary: Pragmatism mediates rival extremes, and religion is no exception: The problems of realism versus antirealism, evidentialism versus fideism, and science versus religion, along with other key issues in the philosophy of religion, receive new interpretations when examined from a pragmatist point of view. Religion is then understood as a human practice with certain inherent aims and goals, responding to specific human needs and interests, serving certain important human values, and seeking to resolve problematic situations that naturally arise from our practices themselves, especially our need to live with our vulnerability, finitude, guilt, and mortality.
