The twentieth-century “Continental” philosophical tradition – descended from the likes of Fichte, Feuerbach, Marx, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche – exhibits a surprising feature: Nearly every variety of Continental philosophy (including phenomenology, hermeneutics, deconstruction, critical theory) has been brought to bear on traditional questions in the philosophy of religion as well as on questions unique to the cultural milieu of the post-war world. Periodicals and monographs, professional organizations and ad hoc symposia alike bear witness to creative forays into the philosophy of religion that would have scandalized the nineteenth-century progenitors of this direction of thinking.
