Abstract

Beyond Man offers models, methods, and new directions for the still nascent, long overdue conversation between philosophical studies of religion and critical studies of race and coloniality. The interdisciplinary contributors approach this work through philosophical, theological, historical, and aesthetic lenses. Euro-descended Christianity has historically defined itself by its Others while paradoxically claiming to represent and speak to humanity in its totality. The essays in Beyond Man disrupt the normative categories of religion and philosophy by rearranging presumptions about what constitutes philosophy of religion.
