In this book, Aaron Simmons takes us on a trip to the mountains to reflect on the meaning of life. In a world too often defined by a quest for "success" that leaves us empty, alone, and anxious, Simmons seeks "faithfulness" outdoors with thinkers and artists from Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Sartre to Anne Lamott, and Kendrick Lamar to Donovan Woods. Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make choices, take risks, be alone and silent whil...

Discussions in the philosophy of religion, ethics, and personal political philosophy have been marked by the influence of two philosophers who are thought to be in opposition to each other, Soren Kierkegaard and Emmanuel Levinas. This volume considers the similarities and differences in how each elaborated the philosophy of religion.

The contributors consider the idea of Christian philosophy in light of current debates in such areas as philosophy of religion, moral theory, epistemology, and metaphysics in order to show that these important historical questions continue to press upon us today.

This book addresses the conventional conflicts between those who desire a more objective, determinate, and quasi-evidentialist perspective on faith and religious truth and those who adopt a more poetic, indeterminate, relativistic, and radical one. Drawing on both continental and analytic philosophy, this unique volume offers a sustained challenge to the prominent paradigm of a "religion without religion", proposed in a deconstructive philosop...

Im Feld machen die Jungs alsbald ein altes Farmhaus aus, zu dem sie sich durchschlagen. Das Haus scheint verlassen, obwohl im oberen Stockwerk Licht brennt.
