{"product_id":"9781438403229","title":"Religion and Radical Empiricism","description":"\u003cp\u003eRarely in modern times has religion been associated with empiricism except to its own peril. This book represents a comprehensive and systematic effort to retrieve and develop the tradition of American religious empiricism for religious inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReligion and Radical Empiricism offers a challenging account of how and why reflection on religious truth-claims must seek justification of those claims finally in terms of empirical criteria. Ranging through many of the major questions in philosophy of religion, the author weaves together a study of the varieties of empiricism in all its historical forms from Hume to Quine. She finds in James and Dewey; in Wieman, Meland, and Loomer of the Chicago School; in Whitehead; and in Abhidharma Buddhism constructive elements of a radically empirical approach to the controversial topic of religious experience. This work provides a strong counter-argument to critics of “revisionary theism,” to caricatures of philosophy as “conversation,” and to any collapse of the category of experience into its linguistic forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123114950896,"sku":"9781438403229","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781438403229_p0.jpg?v=1763755440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781438403229","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
