{"product_id":"the-religious-philosophy-of-roger-james-bryson-9781350041578","title":"The Religious Philosophy of Roger Scruton","description":"In his most recent work, the contemporary philosopher Roger Scruton has turned his attention to religion. Although a religious sensibility ties together his astonishingly prodigious and dynamic output as\u003cbr\u003ea philosopher, poet and composer, his recent exploration of religious and theological themes from a philosophical point of view has excited a fresh response from scholars. This collection of writings addresses Scruton's challenging and subtle philosophy of religion for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume includes contributions from those who specialize in the philosophy of religion, the history of thought and culture, aesthetics, and church history. The collection is introduced by Mark Dooley, author of two books on Scruton, and includes a response to the writings from Scruton himself in which he develops his idea of the sacred and the erotic and defends the integrity of his work as an attempt to give a sense of the \u003ci\u003eLebenswelt \u003c\/i\u003e(or 'lifeworld'): how humans experience the world. He argues that religion emerges from that experience and transforms us from beings bound by causal necessity into persons who acknowledge freedom, obligation and right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique and fascinating collection of writings that sheds light on this hitherto unexplored aspect of Roger Scruton's philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bryson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350041572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350041578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"James Bryson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450115846399,"sku":"9781350041578","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b10c1fdb-09ee-4df7-a653-ff02d9d6070f.jpg?v=1698502862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-religious-philosophy-of-roger-james-bryson-9781350041578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
