The concern of this book is the nature of religious belief and the ways in which philosophical enquiry is related to it. Six chapters present the positive arguments the author wishes to put forward to discusses religion and rationality, scepticism about religion, language-games, belief and the loss of belief. The remaining chapters include criticisms of some contemporary philosophers of religion in the light of the earlier discussions, and the implications for more specific topics, such as religious education, are investigated. The book ends with a general attempt to say something about the character of philosophical enquiry, and to show how important it is to realise this character in the philosophy of religion.

D. Z. Phillips is a leading figure in advocating a Wittgensteinian approach to the philosophical study of religion. His writings exert an important influence on contemporary philosophy of religion, giving a new direction to the philosophical discussion of religious belief and practice. Although his work has prompted much - often critical - comment, a thorough investigation has not been forthcoming. Grammars of Faith fills that gap. The book pays close attention to Wittgenstein's own remarks on religious belief, arranging them against the background of his broader philosophical methodology, as well as to the efforts of the early Wittgensteinians at providing a more comprehensive Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion. Central to this study are Phillips's understanding of philosophical enquiry as a form of contemplation, and his descriptive accounts of religious belief. By means of a careful and methodical examination of Phillips's oeuvre, the study seeks to present a fair assessment of Phillips's position, showing not only its weaknesses, but also its strength.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Faith: An Enquiry It is the first business of reason as the organ of philosophy to understand its own processes. Should it be found that actually reason cannot, on its own responsibility, guarantee the validity of the scientific method as an instrument of real knowledge, still that method would not be dis credited. It is certain that we must hold to the scientific method. Only let us understand clearly why we do so. In fact reason, starting from its own logical postulates as merely provisional, has no difficulty in proving from those very premises that some at least of them are theoretically questionable and dubious; yet at the same time finds very good practical and passional reasons for adhering to them, and to the method based upon them, with the most absolute assurance. Now it is evident at once that these same practical and passional considerations, or analogous ones, may have their legitimate applications in higher departments of speculation.

'The Existence of God' is a religious essay written by François de Salignac de La Mothe- Fénelon. He argues that while metaphysical proofs of God's existence may be difficult for most people to grasp, moral proofs are more accessible to everyone, as they are present in the wisdom and power stamped upon everything in nature. Despite this, according to the author, few people pay attention to these proofs due to their worldly concerns and false prejudices. The universe itself is a testament to God's existence, as it bears the stamp of an infinitely powerful and industrious creator, and could not have been the result of chance. This book presents compelling arguments for the existence of God, drawing on comparisons from literature and music to help readers understand the complexities of the universe and the beauty of its creator.

"Those who tell stories rule society." Plato So who today are our principal storytellers? Not philosophers, but filmmakers. For those who know both the enormous entertainment potential and the culture-shaping power of film, this book will stir mind and imagination. For great stories freight world-sized ideas, ideas worthy of contemplation and conversation. Great cinema inspires wonder. But another philosopher, Aristotle, reminds us that wonder is the true source of philosophy. So perhaps Plato or Aristotle might have a shot at ruling society, even today--if they took an interest in film. These fourteen essays consider classic and current films together with several major philosophical themes, all within the context of Christian faith: (1) the human condition, (2) the human mind and the nature of knowing, (3) the moral life, and (4) faith and religion. Citizen Kane, Big Fish and Pretty Woman contribute to an in-depth consideration of the human condition. The Truman Show, The Matrix, Being John Malkovich and It's a Wonderful Life, among others, illuminate reflection on the human mind and the nature of knowing. Looking at the moral life, contributors interact with such notable films as Pleasantville, Bowling for Columbine, Mystic River and The Silence of the Lambs. The final section pursues the theme of faith and religion traced through a number of Hong Kong martial arts films, Contact, 2001: A Space Odyssey and U2's music documentary Rattle and Hum. A veritable film festival for all those who want to nurture the wonder of philosophical inquiry and the love of Christian theology through an engagement with the big ideas on the big screen.
