GREENVILLE, S.C. \u2014J. Aaron Simmons, an assistant professor of philosophy at Furman, has co-edited a new book with Stephen Minister, assistant professor of philosophy at Augustana College.<\/p>\n

Reexamining Deconstruction and Determinate Religion: Toward a Religion with Religion<\/em> will be available through Duquesne University Press in October 2012.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

Drawing on both continental and analytic philosophy, the volume offers a sustained challenge to the prominent paradigm of a \u201creligion without<\/em> religion,\u201d proposed in a deconstructive philosophy of religion.<\/p>\n

The book features extended essays by Simmons and Minister as well as Bruce Ellis Benson, John D. Caputo, Drew M. Dalton, Jeffrey Hanson and Merold Westphal.<\/p>\n
