Early Modern Philosophy of Religion: An Introduction

TL;DRAbstract

The early modern period is one of the richest, perhaps the richest, period in the history of relations between philosophy and religion. The chapters in this volume bear this out again and again, dealing as they do with some of the foremost thinkers of modern times, such as René Descartes, John Locke, David Hume and Immanuel Kant. Each of the following chapters is organized around the contributions of one of these philosophers or a group of philosophers, some of whom lived centuries apart, so it is important at the outset to get a bird's-eye view of the broad contours of the relations between philosophy and religion in the early modern period. This introduction aims to provide just such an overview by taking a thematic approach to the subject.
