Are the perspectives of religious believers acceptable in an academic setting? In this lucid and penetrating essay, Nicholas Wolterstorff ranges from Max Weber and John Locke to Ludwig Wittgenstein and Charles Taylor to argue that religious orientations and voices do have a home in the modern university, and he offers a sketch of what that home should be like. He documents the remarkable changes have occurred within the academy over the past five decades with regard to how knowledge is understood. During the same period, profound philosophical advancements have also been made in our understanding of religious belief. These shifting ideals, taken together, have created an environment that is more pluralistic than secular. Tapping into larger debates on freedom of expression and intellectual diversity, Wolterstorff believes a scholarly ethic should guard us against becoming, in Weber's words, "specialists without spirit and sensualists without heart." -- $c Publisher, inside front flap of dust jacket. 505 00 $t Religion in the university. $t Rethinking scholarship and the university -- $t Rethinking religion -- $t Religion in the university. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $z United States $x Religion. 650 0 $a Academic freedom $z United States. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z United States. 650 0 $a College teachers $x Religious life. 650 0 $a College students $x Religious life. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605013754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=579659DA875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
