In this important work, Jim Kanaris provides a unique approach to the study of religion, aiming to alleviate the methodological and ideological barriers that divide philosophers, theologians, and social scientists. This is a ‘philosophy of religion’ for a wider audience than that designation usually circumscribes, and, for that reason, Kanaris opts for the broader ‘philosophy of religious studies.’ He hybridizes insights principally from the works of Bernard Lonergan and Martin Heidegger but also those of Jacques Derrida, Charles Winquist, and Tyler Roberts, among others. Kanaris combines this with a distinctive hermeneutical approach that gives rise to what he calls ‘enecstatic’ philosophy, one that manages the irreducible complexity of one’s individuality, a singularity, in the negotiation of one’s objects of concern.
Toward a Philosophy of Religious Studies is unlike any other book in religious studies. It provides a unique way to surface personal involvement in the study of religion without compromising scholarly objectivity and philosophical integrity.
