متن يادداشت

For many centuries, the relations between philosophy and religion were very close-at times indistinguishable. That is not so in the modern secular academy, which houses philosophy along with the study of religion but without noticeable mutual relations between the two. Kevin Schilbrack has ably dealt with that situation in his latest publication 'Philosophy and the Study of Religion'. Schilbrack's diagnoses are acute and most scholars in the study of religion will consider them worth heeding-except, most likely, his calls for more metaphysical concerns based on ideas of 'unmediated experience'. His arguments proceed from current philosophical positions and theories of situated cognition and his appeals are quite convincing. However, they do have one remarkable drawback as this critic sees it: That metaphysics move from the ontological realm to the epistemic (!). That is no mean feat, because as no one really seems to know what metaphysics are in this 'post-metaphysic age', Schilbrack's proposal seems to indicate that metaphysics now become humanly approachable and intellectually tractable. As such, they could justifiably become an integral part of the study of religion-as could philosophy.
