More DescriptionIn this book Mark Wynn argues that the landscape of philosophical theology looks rather different from the perspective of a re-conceived theory of emotion. In matters of religion, we do not need to opt for objective content over emotional form or vice versa. On the contrary, form and content are not properly separable here--because 'inwardness' may contribute to 'thought-content'. Wynn uses this perspective to forge a distinctive approach to a range of established topics in philosophy of religion, and to examine the connection of 'feeling' to doctrine and tradition.
