11Rorty and ReligionIn Alan R. Malachowski (ed.), A companion to Rorty, Wiley. 2020.This chapter offers a philosophical reconstruction of philosophical views on epistemic practices and the social practical basis of authority in order to make sense of Richard Rorty's anxieties about religion's role in democratic life. It shows that the philosophical views can also be used to construct an approach to religious pluralism that is far more open‐ended and dialogical than the approach that Rorty chose to pursue. The chapter reviews Rorty's call for the privatization of religion in lig…Read more

17A Politics of Tending and TransformationStudies in Christian Ethics 32 (1): 113-118. 2019.In Awaiting the King: Reforming Public Theology, James K. A. Smith gives us a liturgical political theology.

7Hegel's Social Ethics: Religion, Conflict, and Rituals of ReconciliationPrinceton University Press. 2017.Hegel’s Social Ethics offers a fresh and accessible interpretation of G. W. F. Hegel’s most famous book, the Phenomenology of Spirit. Drawing on important recent work on the social dimensions of Hegel’s theory of knowledge, Molly Farneth shows how his account of how we know rests on his account of how we ought to live.

24Gender and the Ethical GivenJournal of Religious Ethics 41 (4): 643-667. 2013.G. W. F.
