RELATIONS: ONTOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION

In 1924, B. Russell wrote that the issue of relationships is one of the most important in philosophy and that many unresolved philosophical problems depend on how relationships are understood. Such observation is more than fundamental for the contemporary philosophical agenda: ontology, philosophy of religion and other fields of theoretical inquiry require an explanation for the very nature of what a relationship is and how it works. The present edited collection is a fresh contribution to the international debate. Leading scholars from all over the world address the topic from different viewpoints: history of philosophy, ontology, philosophy of religion, and history of religious doctrines.
