Abstract

What does it mean to be a truly philosophical philosopher of religion today? The paper proposes that the thinker of faith should pursue the following passions: a passion for wonder and epistemic openness; the desire for a rationality that exceeds narrow-minded hyper-rationalism; an ecological pathos i.e. loving the earth; a passion for self-development; and thinking and participating in ethical political-economic transformation, a revolutionary passion. And so, today's truly philosophical philosopher of religion would pursue a cognitively rigorous, engaged, and experientially adventurous venture in thinking.
