Philosophy of religion is undergoing a process of transformation. The discipline now reflects the increasing recognition that religion is a global phenomenon and that a truly comprehensive understanding of it requires engagement with the full range of religious experiences and perspectives. Accordingly, leading scholars have been expanding the field’s scope and developing new approaches. Cambridge Elements in Global Philosophy of Religion provide concise and structured overviews of cutting-edge philosophical research addressing a wide range of religious beliefs and practices. The series emphasises global, multi-faith viewpoints, incorporating insights from numerous religious and wisdom traditions. Leading scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds and geographical regions explore topics and issues that have been overlooked by Western philosophy of religion. The diverse perspectives which engage with contemporary issues make this series a vital contribution to the ongoing conversation about the fundamental role of religion in the 21st century.
