  • Ignorance

    A Philosophical Study

    by Rik Peels ...
    Ignorance: A Philosophical Study provides an in-depth exploration of ignorance in its many dimensions. Philosophers have long examined epistemological concepts like belief, knowledge, and understanding, but they have paid less attention to ignorance. Socrates famously claimed to be ignorant about a wide variety of issues, such as physical matters and ethics, but did not study ignorance itself. It ... Read more

    Prevalence, Potential, and Resilience

    by Rik Peels ...
    Series series Elements in Religion and Monotheism
    This Element explores the relation between monotheism and fundamentalism. It does so from both an empirical perspective and a more theoretical one that combines theological and philosophical insights. The empirical part addresses how as a matter of fact, particularly quantitively, monotheism and fundamentalism relate to one another. The more theoretical part studies the relation between the two by ... Read more

  • Life without God

    An Outsider's Look at Atheism

    by Rik Peels ...
    In this book, Rik Peels explores atheism from a new perspective that aims to go beyond the highly polarized debate about arguments for and against God's existence. Since our beliefs about the most important things in life are not usually based on arguments, we should look beyond atheistic arguments and explore what truly motivates the atheist. Are there certain ideals or experiences that explain ... Read more

  • A Philosophy of the Humanities

    by Stephen R. Grimm, Rik Peels, René van Woudenberg ...
    Co-authored by three philosophers, this ground-breaking book explores a range of new and classic questions concerning the humanities. For example, do the humanities (like the sciences) really make progress? Is there anything that unifies scholarship in the humanities, across fields as diverse as history, literary studies, philosophy, and musicology? And what should we make of the political aims of ...

  • Conceptualizing Extreme Beliefs and Behaviors

    Definitions and Relations

    Edited by Rik Peels, John Horgan ...
    Series series Extreme Belief and Behavior Series
    Concepts like extremism and radicalization are highly contested. Their definitions matter, because they influence how we study extremism and radicalization and, in the long run, how these are perceived in the public debate. Rather than adding more definitions, this book explores the underlying challenging conceptual issues in defining, interpreting, and operationalizing notions such as extremism, ... Read more

  • Scientism

    Prospects and Problems

    Edited by Jeroen de Ridder, Rik Peels, Rene van Woudenberg ...
    Can only science deliver genuine knowledge about the world and ourselves? Is science our only guide to what exists? Scientism answers both questions with yes. Scientism is increasingly influential in popular scientific literature and intellectual life in general, but philosophers have hitherto largely ignored it. This collection is one of the first to develop and assess scientism as a serious ... Read more

    This book explores the intriguing relationship between theology, science, and the ideal of progress from a variety of perspectives.

  • New Developments in the Cognitive Science of Religion

    The Rationality of Religious Belief

    by Hans van Eyghen ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    It is widely thought that the cognitive science of religion (CSR) may have a bearing on the epistemic status of religious beliefs and on other topics in philosophy of religion. Epistemologists have used theories from CSR to argue both for and against the rationality of religious beliefs, or they have claimed that CSR is neutral vis-à-vis the epistemic status of religious belief. However, since CSR ... Read more

  • Scientific Challenges to Common Sense Philosophy

    Edited by Rik Peels, Jeroen de Ridder, René van Woudenberg ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science
    Common sense philosophy holds that widely and deeply held beliefs are justified in the absence of defeaters. While this tradition has always had its philosophical detractors who have defended various forms of skepticism or have sought to develop rival epistemological views, recent advances in several scientific disciplines claim to have debunked the reliability of the faculties that produce our ...

  • The Epistemic Dimensions of Ignorance

    Edited by Rik Peels, Martijn Blaauw ...
    Ignorance is a neglected issue in philosophy. This is surprising for, contrary to what one might expect, it is not clear what ignorance is. Some philosophers say or assume that it is a lack of knowledge, whereas others claim or presuppose that it is an absence of true belief. What is one ignorant of when one is ignorant? What kinds of ignorance are there? This neglect is also remarkable because ... Read more
