{"product_id":"religion-and-the-good-life-9789023240693","title":"Religion and the Good Life","description":"In this volume, fourteen philosophers of religion reflect on religious views of the good life. Some authors focus on positive religion and its specific religious representations of the good life, while others abstract from these and focus on philosophical religion and its conceptual articulations of the good life. The tension between positive religion and philosophical religion, between representation and concept, is itself also analyzed.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis volume is a result of the co-operation of the philosophers of religion who are senior members of the Netherlands School for Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion NOSTER.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nContents\u003cbr\u003e\nReligion and the Good Life: Introduction - Marcel Sarot (Utrecht) and Wessel Stoker (Amsterdam)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePART I – THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REPRESENTATION AND CONCEPT\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Tension between Representation and Concept as a Challenge for Philosophy of Religion - Peter Jonkers (Utrecht)\u003cbr\u003e\nBeyond Representation and Concept: The Language of Testimony - R.D.N. van Riessen (Kampen)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePART II – THE TENSION BETWEEN REPRESENTATION AND CONCEPT\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeduction and Guidance: Some Remarks on the Ambiguities of Reason and Reflective Thought in Connection with Religion and the Good Life - W.
