Reflections on Philosophy and Religion

The collected papers of Alan Donagan, covering topics in the philosophy of religion. The papers represent an expression of Donagan's thought on Christianity and ethics, and display the outlines of an overarching theory. An introduction brings Donagan's work into focus. This book contains the collected papers of Alan Donagan on topics in the philosophy of religion. Donagan was respected as a leading figure in American moral philosophy. His untimely death in 1991 prevented him from collecting his philosophical reflections on religion, particularly Christianity, and its relation to ethics and other concerns. This collection, therefore, constitutes the fullest expression of Donagan's thought on Christianity and ethics, in which it is possible to discern the outlines of a coherent, overarching theory. Editor Anthony Perovich has supplied a useful introduction, which brings Donagan's work into focus and brings out the unifying themes in the essays.
