Merold Westphal has been in the foremost ranks of philosophers who proclaim a new postsecular philosophy. By articulating an epistemology sensitive to the realities of cognitive finitude and moral weakness, he defends a wisdom that begins in both humility and commitment, one that always confesses that human beings can encounter meaning and truth only as human beings, never as gods.The present volume focuses on this wisdom of humility that characterizes Westphal's thought and explores how that wisdom, expressed through the redemptive dynamic of doubt, can contribute to developing a postsecular apologetic for faith.This book can function both as an accessible introduction to Westphal for those who have not read him extensively and also as an informed critical appreciation and extension of his work for those who are more experienced readers.

This collection addresses the perennial philosophical and theological issues of human finitude and the potentiality for evil. The contributors approach these issues from perspectives in Continental philosophy relating to phenomenology, philosophical hermeneutics, rabbinical traditions, drawing upon the work of Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, and Paul Ricoeur. While centering on the traditional theme of theodicy, this volume is also oriented to the phenomenology of religion, with contributions across religions and intellectual traditions.

Un plaideur véreux, Pathelin, parvient à escroquer un marchand de drap avec l'aide de sa femme, au terme d'une formidable supercherie ; le drapier tente d'obtenir justice de son berger qui détourne ses brebis au lieu de les lui garder ; le berger choisit Pathelin comme avocat. Un juge tentera vainement de voir clair dans une histoire où la mystification prend le pas sur la raison. C'est Maistre Pierre Pathelin, œuvre qui anticipe de deux siècles le génie dramatique d'un Molière : il n'y a pas une réplique qui ne concoure au développement des intrigues mêlées entre des personnages universels. Ce volume propose de nouvelles lectures du texte en abordant la sociologie des personnages, les rapports entre langage et intrigue, entre culture savante et culture vernaculaire, et il met l'œuvre en perspective dans les contextes qui nous l'ont transmise. Il comprend également une bibliographie des éditions, des traductions et des articles publiés sur Pathelin depuis 30 ans.

This collection of ground-breaking essays considers the many dimensions of prayer: how prayer relates us to the divine; prayer's ability to reveal what is essential about our humanity; the power of prayer to transform human desire and action; and the relation of prayer to cognition. It takes up the meaning of prayer from within a uniquely phenomenological point of view, demonstrating that the phenomenology of prayer is as much about the character and boundaries of phenomenological analysis as it is about the heart of religious life.
