Synopsis

Richard Kearney is one of the leading global thinkers in both continental philosophy and post-metaphysical philosophy of religion and an esteemed Irish philosophy professor, currently teaching at Boston College, Massachusetts, USA. Professor Kearney first visited South Africa as a joint visiting academic at the Universities of Stellenbosch, Pretoria, and North-West in May. The visit prompted the publication of this scholarly collected work, authored by South African and international scholars. These philosophy and religious studies specialists analysed Kearney’s influential work and brought his scholarly perspectives into dialogue with other leading thinkers in the field, both from Africa and abroad. This publication will be the first collective attempt to engage his work from the perspective of the African continent. This collected work contributes significantly to Ricoeurdian studies in an interdisciplinary way. The target audience of the book is peers and specialists in the field of continental philosophy and philosophy of religion.
