Philosophical Theologies in South Africa : Genealogies, Traditions, and Speculations

Abstract

The relationship between philosophy and theology has been a live question since the origins of Christianity. Attending to a genealogy of how ‘theology’ and ‘philosophy’ have been related is important for conceiving their ongoing engagement. However, the question of context, of where they are so related and practiced, has only recently begun to be reflected upon. The current volume aims to make a contribution to this recounting by focusing on some of the ways theology and philosophy have been and are being interfaced in the Global South, and more specifically in South Africa.
