Negative Natural Theology - God and the Limits of Reason

About the author

After teaching at the Universities of London and Cambridge, Christopher Insole took up his post at Durham in 2006, where he is Professor of Philosophical Theology and Ethics. He has published on realism and anti-realism, religious epistemology, the relationship between theology, metaphysics, and political philosophy, and on the thought of Immanuel Kant. His books include his two major studies of Kant's relationship to theology (Oxford, 2020 and 2013). His recent research has moved into a more contemporary and constructive key, engaging with the category of natural theology, as it meets the limits of reason and knowledge.

Summary

Examines the relationship between the concept of the divine and the tension between the internal and external perspective upon our lives. Specifically, the book tests the hypothesis that a religious moment can arise when one attempts to overcome and transform the sense of alienation of the internal and external perspectives.
