Recognizing the essential heteronomy of postmodern philosophy of
religion, Merold Westphal argues against the assumption that human
reason is universal, neutral, and devoid of presupposition. Instead,
Westphal contends that any philosophy is a matter of faith and the
philosophical encounter with theology arises from the very act of
thinking. Relying on the work of Spinoza, Kant, and Hegel, Westphal
discovers that their theologies render them mutually incompatible and
their claims to be the voice of autonomous and universal reason look
dubious. Westphal grapples with this plural nature of human thought in
the philosophy of religion and he forwards the idea that any appeal to
the divine must rest on a historical and phenomenological analysis.
