Summary

Faith, Rationality and the Passions explores the complex relationship between religious faith, philosophical reason, and human passions. Leading scholars challenge the common notion that the Enlightenment created a divide between reason and passion, presenting new research that reconsiders classic and Enlightenment thinkers. The book also delves into the 19th-century development of the concept of 'emotion' and contrasts it with earlier ideas of passion, aiming to bridge secular philosophy and theology for a deeper understanding of belief, feeling, and reason.

Description

Faith, Rationality and the Passions presents a fresh and original examination of the relation of religious faith, philosophical rationality and the passions. Contributions see leading scholars refute the widely-held belief that religious Enlightenment forced passion and reason apart.

Leading philosophical experts offer new research on the relation of faith, reason and the passions in classic and Enlightenment figures. The book overturns the widely-held presumption that the Enlightenment was responsible for creating a gulf between reason and passion.

It presents original and innovative research on the importance of the late-19th century creation of the category of 'emotion', and its striking difference from classic ideas of passion. It brings together secular science and philosophy of emotion with philosophical theology to seek a new integration of belief, emotion and reason.
