How to Pursue Religious Depth with John D. Caputo (Part 2)In our final episode of this season, Ilia Delio asks philosopher-theologian Jack Caputo more about religious depth in light of what he calls weak theology. Plus, Jack compares AI to angelology, and Ilia asks how theo-poetics can help us respond to the challenges posed by technology and the crises of our day.ABOUT JOHN D.

Ilia Delio sits down with philosopher-theologian John D. Saputo (Jack). Ilia asks Jack about how he got from Continental Philosophy to what he calls weak theology, and theo-poetics. Then they tackle the big, enduring question Jack and Ilia like to often ask—what is going on “in the name of God?” and why it might benefit us to stop talking about “God.”ABOUT JOHN D.

When did Jesus start hating immigrants and gays, and loving guns and capitalism?Many Christians on the political left today no longer recognize the Jesus of the political right in the United States. Despite sharing a text and history, (at least) two dramatically different versions of "Jesus" have emerged in contemporary American Christian discourse, each reflecting a set of moral and political inferences presumably gleaned from the teachings of the historical Jesus, and each set of inferences containing its own problems with respect to verifiability, authenticity, and legitimacy.This week, we are joined by internationally renowned Catholic scholar Dr. John D. Caputo, author of What Would Jesus Deconstruct? (2007), to re-trace the emergence of these seemingly incompatible iterations of "Jesus," and try to figure out whose Jesus works for whom.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-151-whose-jesus-with-john-d-caputo/-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

John Caputo is back on the podcast! If you are new to Homebrewed Christianity, you may not be familiar with Jack. Still, he is a longtime friend of the pod, a top-tier postmodern philosopher who radically returned to his theological roots. In his new book What to Believe? , he gives a beautiful introduction to his articulation of radical theology inspired by a Tillichian departure.  If you no longer “believe in God,” the Supreme Being of classical theology, or you never did in the first place, is there anything you still ought to believe, anything you should cherish unconditionally, no matter what? In this lively and accessible book, addressed to believers, “recovering” believers, disbelievers, nonbelievers, and “nones” alike―to anyone in search of what they really do believe―the acclaimed philosopher and theologian John D. Caputo seeks out what there is to believe, with or without religion. John David Caputo (born October 26, 1940) is an American philosopher who is the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Villanova University. Caputo is a major figure associated with postmodern Christianity and continental philosophy of religion, as well as the founder of the theological movement known as weak theology. Much of Caputo's work focuses on hermeneutics, phenomenology, deconstruction and theology.

This Quoircast podcast episode is brought to you by Religious Refugees by Mark Karris. Published by Quoir and available now.In this episode we chat with John D CaputoJohn D. Caputo is a hybrid philosopher/theologian intent on producing impure thoughts, thoughts which circulate between philosophy and theology, short-circuits which deny fixed and rigorous boundaries between philosophy and theology. Caputo treats "sacred" texts as a poetics of the human condition, or as a "theo-poetics," a poetics of the event harbored in the name of God. His past books have attempted to persuade us that hermeneutics goes all the way down (Radical Hermeneutics), that Derrida is a thinker to be reckoned with by theology (The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida), and that theology is best served by getting over its love affair with power and authority and embracing what Caputo calls, following St. Paul, The Weakness of God. He has also addressed wider-than-academic audiences in On Religion and What Would Jesus Deconstruct? and has an interest in interacting with the working church groups like ikon and the “Emergent” Church. He is currently working in a book on our frail and mortal flesh, probably to be entitled The Fate of All Flesh: A Theology of the Event, II.You can follow John Caputo on:Facebook     You can find all things John D Caputo related on his website.You can purchase John D Caputo's book on Amazon.comYou can connect with This Is Not Church on:Facebook     Instagram      Twitter     TikTok     YouTubeAlso check out our Linktree for all things This Is Not Church relatedPlease like and follow our Quoircast Partners:Heretic Happy Hour     Messy Spirituality     Apostates Anonymous    Second Cup with Keith     The Church Needs TherapyIdeas Digest     The New Evangelicals     Snarky Faith Podcast     Wild Olive     Deadly FaithJonathan Foster     Sacred Thoughts     Holy Heretics     Reframing Our StoriesEach episode of This Is Not Church Podcast is expertly engineered by our producer The Podcast Doctor Eric Howell.

Biri ötekinin gelişine nasıl hazırlanmalı veya nasıl açık olmalı? Öteki, öteki olarak, insanın tam olarak zaten hazır olmadığı, dolayısıyla gelişine hazırlanmadığı kişi değil midir? Hazırlık, ötekini kendi başkalığından kurtarmıyor mu, yani biz hazırsak, o zaman gelen şey öteki değil aynı olan, yani tam da beklediğimiz şey, yani bizim tasavvurlarımızda zaten bitirip tükettiğimiz olmuyor mudur? Ötekine karşı gerçek misafirperverlik, kişinin her şeye hazırlıklı olduğu bir durum değil midir? Paradoksal olarak her şeye hazırlıklı olmak aslında hazırlıklı olmadığı bir duruma da açık olmak anlamına gelen belirli bir şartsızlığa sahip olmayı gerektirmez mi? Ötekinin gelişi için yeterli olan tek hazırlık, gelecek olana hazırlıklı olamayacağımızı itiraf etmek midir? O halde nasıl hazır(lıksız) olunabilir, yani asla hazır olamadığımız birinin ilerleyişi için nasıl hazırlıklı olunabilir? Ünlü Hermenötikçi John D. Caputo'nun peşine düştüğü bu sorular onun için hermenötiği daha da radikalleştirmenin yolunu açan büyük sırrın anahtarıdır. Ötekinin bilinemezliği asıl büyük sırdır, ama bu aynı zamanda öteki ile hakkını vererek, hukukunu gözeterek, kendine de saygı üretecek şekilde açılmanın da anahtarıdır. Bu konuda Caputo, Edmund Husserl'in 5. Kartezyen Meditasyon'undaki sırrın hermenötiği temasına müracaat eder. Orada öteki hakkında bir şey bilmemeyi ona açık olmanın temel koşulu olarak işaret ederken, öteki hakkında ister istemez sahip olabileceğimiz önbilginin, önyargının, önanlamanın onun hukukunu nasıl ihlal edebileceğini de işaret etmiş olur. Husserl'e göre öteki benlik (alter ego), kesinlikle zihinsel yaşamını asla bilemeyeceğim ya da işgal etmeyeceğim bir kişidir, benim açımdan daha sonra üstesinden gelebileceğim bazı muhtemel sınırlamalar nedeniyle değil, prensipte erişilemez olduğu için. Eğer ona erişebilseydim, ötekinin ötekiliği yok edilecekti; tanıdığım öteki, öteki olmayacaktı. Ötekinin zihinsel yaşamının erişilmezliği bu nedenle olumludur ve yakınılacak bir şey değildir, çünkü ötekini tam olarak bu bilinemezlik oluşturur. Ötekinin öteki olarak ortaya çıkması, görünmemekle oluşur. Ötekine karşı tutumumuzun çok kabaca ve hoyratça olduğu toplumsal ve siyasal kültürümüzde belki hiçbir yere dokunamayacak, hiçbir karşılık bulamayacak gereğinden fazla ince ve karmaşık sorular ve mülahazalar bunlar. Ötekini bize haberi gelmeden önce hemen kavramlarımızın, kategorilerimizin içinde öldürüveriyoruz. Bize gelenin ötekiliği kalmıyor, o zaten bizim tanımladığımız biri olarak bize ulaşmadan söyleyecekleri söylenmiş ve cevaplanmış oluyor, geldiğinde ne söylerse söylesin hepsini önceden biz belirliyoruz. Öteki bir sanatçıysa ondan nasıl bir sanat beklediğimizi söyleyerek sanatsal özgünlüğünün, yaratıcılığının önünü beklentilerimizle kesiyoruz. Sanatçılarını öldüren bir toplumuz. Aynı şekilde filozoflarını da. Milli diyerek, yerli diyerek, bizim diyerek, “tarihimize, geleneklerimize, şanımıza, kültürümüze yaraşır” diyerek, sanatçımızın da, filozofumuzun da bize ne söyleyeceğini önceden belirliyoruz. Öteki, bir peygamber olarak geldiğinde, peygamber bekleyen kavmi bile “bir peygamberin bizim en bilginimiz olması gerekmez miydi?” diye tepki vermesi bütün peygamberler tarihinin tipik vakalarındandır. Bir peygamber, bizim kavmimizden olmalı değil miydi? Bir peygamberin kendisinden istendiğinde mucizeler gösterebiliyor olması gerekmez miydi? Önünde, arkasında, yanında melekler dolaşıyor olması gerekmez miydi? Bizim gibi, çarşıda pazarda dolaşandan, yemek yiyip içenden peygamber mi olurmuş?

The Rev. Canon Borg was not raised in the church and lived outside the US (and a conventional Christian culture) until she was eight. At age 26 she had a compelling experience reading the Gospels. That interaction began an unsettling and transformational journey into Christianity and its traditions. At age 40 Borg was ordained in the Episcopal church, which has remained her spiritual home for 32 years. Her commitment to her faith requires continual rethinking and reimagining what Christianity is and why it matters. She is very concerned about the future of Christianity, particularly American Christianity. Borg's adult formation has been profoundly shaped by the life and work of her late husband (the scholar Dr. Marcus J. Borg), the South African Bush, the horse, and the work of John D. Caputo. She hosts a monthly virtual gathering called the Second Saturday Conversation that explores Christianity in and for the 21st century.

On this episode, we have the treat of hearing from Professor John D. Caputo. As you'll hear in the interview, I've asked him to tell us about his own intellectual and religious development.

İnsanı insan yapan, insanlık yolculuğunda ilerleten şey birşeyler işitmeye, işittiklerinden öğrenmeye, öğrendiklerinden kendini değiştirmeye açık olma seviyesidir. Ama hepimiz de biliriz ki insan her zaman işitmiyor, işitse öğrenmiyor, öğrense de bunu eyleme dönüştürmüyor. Nedir bu farkı oluşturan şey? Kimden ne işiteceğimize, işittiklerimizden ne öğreneceklerimize, öğrendiklerimizden neyi eyleme geçireceğimize kadar geçen süreçte kendi farkımızı ortaya koyuyoruz. Bir kulağımız var ve bu istesek de istemesek de birşeyleri bize işittiriyor. İstemeden işittiklerimiz ile “bile-isteyerek, arayarak” işittiklerimiz arasında hangi ses, kimin sözü, neremize ne kadar ulaşır? “Biri ötekinin gelişine nasıl hazırlanmalı? Öteki, öteki olarak, insanın tam olarak hazırlanmadığı kişi değil midir? Hazırlık, ötekini kendi başkalığından kurtarmıyor mu, yani biz hazırsak, o zaman gelen şey öteki değil aynı olan, yani tam da beklediğimiz şey olmuyor mudur? Ötekine karşı gerçek konukseverlik, kişinin her şeye hazırlıklı olduğu, yani aslında hazırlıklı olmadığı anlamına gelen belirli bir şartsızlığa sahip olmayı gerektirmez mi? Ötekinin gelişi için yeterli olan tek hazırlık, gelecek olana hazırlıklı olamayacağımızı itiraf etmek midir? O halde nasıl hazır(lıksız) olunabilir, yani asla hazır olamadığımız birinin ilerleyişi için nasıl hazırlıklı olunabilir?” John D. Caputo'nun bu soruları Öteki'ne karşı, aslında dosta karşı, onun gelişine veya onun bize seslenişine nasıl ve ne kadar hazır olduğumuza dair sorulmuş oldukça uyarıcı sorular. Tam bu sorular nedense bende Nasrettin Hoca'nın meşhur düşündürücü fıkrasında yaptığını andırır. Hoca'nın bir gün camide vaaz kürsüsüne çıkıp cemaate sorduğu soruyla başlayan fıkra: “cemaat, bugün size ne diyeceğimi bilir misiniz?” Cemaat şaşkın, hiç beklemedikleri ve bir anlam vermedikleri bir soru. Nereden bileceklerdir ki? Aynen öyle derler: “hayır hoca, bilmiyoruz”. Bu cevap üzerine Hoca şöyle bir bakar cemaate “iyi, o halde anlatmayayım” der. Cemaat iyice şaşkın. Biliyoruz mu demeliydik? Hoca bilmediğimizi anlatmak için yok muydu zaten orada? Neyse, aradan bir hafta daha geçiyor, cemaat ve hoca tekrar biraraya gelirler, Hoca yine kürsüde etrafına tekrar bakındıktan sonra aynı soruyu tekrarlar: “Cemaat, ne diyeceğimi biliyor musunuz” Cemaat yine şaşkın, geçen haftaki olayın tekrarlamasını hiç beklemediği için hazırlıksız ama o anda herkeste bir refleks olarak geçen haftaki cevabı verdikleri taktirde hocanın konuşmayacağını düşünerek hepsi birden “biliyoruz” deyiverirler. Hoca bu söz üzerine de “iyi o halde, madem biliyorsunuz, anlatmama gerek yok”. Cemaat iyice şaşırmıştır. Bu sefer bir hafta sonrasını iple çekmişlerdir çünkü iki defa tekrarlayan mutlaka üçüncü defa da tekrarlar diye düşünerek hazırlığını yapmıştır. Hoca tekrar kürsüye çıkıp “cemaat ne diyeceğimi biliyor musunuz?” diye sorunca cemaat hazırlık yapmakta isabet ettiklerini düşünür. Hemen kararlaştırdığı gibi, bir kısmı “biliyoruz” der, bir kısmı da “bilmiyoruz” der. Ne var ki, Hocanın cevabı değişmemiştir. Bu sefer “iyi o vakit, bilenler bilmeyenlere anlatsın” diyerek yine hiçbir şey anlatmadan kürsüden iner. Hiçbir şey anlatmadan üç hafta yaptığı bu hareketle aslında İsmet Özel'e göre de hoca çok şey anlatmıştır (Zor Zamanda Konuşmak). Hocanın kürsüden söyleyeceği şeyi, söyleyebileceği şeyleri hiç bilmeden camiye gelenler ne aradıklarına dair hiçbir fikirleri olmayan, işi tamamen rutine bağlamış insanlar. Hoca ne anlatsa zaten hiç bilmediği için hiçbir şey de duymayacak, öğrenmeyecektir. Hocayla arasındaki iletişim gelmekte olan dostu karşılamaya hazır bir insanın iletişimi değildir. Burada camideki vaaz ne söylese söylesin, kendi rutininde hareket eden cemaatin hayatını değiştirmeyecektir. Onlara bir şeyler anlatarak, bilmedikleri ve bilmeyecekleri şeyleri söyleyerek kendini harap etmenin anlamı yok.

Kurbanı, Hz. İbrahim'in yaşadığı bir tecrübeyi, bir imtihanı örnek kılarak ebedileştiren ve bize bu tecrübenin bir zikrini daha yaşatana hamdolsun. Kurban'ı kesilip dağıtılan etler mesabesine indirmemenin, onu salt Allah'a olan kulluğumuzun bir vesilesi kılmanın bir yolu da İbrahim ile çağdaş olmak, onunla hemhal olmak, tabii bunun için herşeyden önce onu anlamaya çalışmaktır. Onu anlama çabasında Müslümanların kuşkusuz çok güzel çabaları var. Bugün farklı bir yerden bir anlama çabasıyla başbaşa bırakmak isterim. Ünlü Katolik radikal hermenötikçi John D. Caputo'nun Hz. İbrahim'in genel tecrübesini umut ilkesiyle bağdaştıran, o açıdan anlamaya çalışan güzel bir metnini Tezkire dergisinin son sayısı için çevirdim. Oradan konuyla ilgili anlamlı bir parçayı bayramlık olarak olduğu gibi aktarıyorum: UMUDA KARŞI UMUT Mümkünün uzmanlarının makul umutları vardır. Umutları o kadar gerçeklere dayanır ki, işlerin iyi gideceğine dair her tür makul beklentiye sahip olabilirler. Doktor hastalığın en erken aşamalarında teşhis edildiğini ve tam bir iyileşme beklediğini söyler. Daha önce bu tür birçok vakayı iyileştirmiştir ve sonuç hemen hemen her zaman olumlu olmuştur. Gelecek arkasındaki geçmişin bütün ağırlığını taşır; olayların akışı neredeyse kaçınılmaz görünür. Bu umudun en asgarisiyle umut ve azamisiyle makul bir beklenti olmasıdır. Yani “gelecek şimdi”, şimdiye dayanarak görüp tadabildiğim bir gelecek, güçlü bir biçimde tahmin edilebildiği için pratik olarak zaten gerçekleşmiş bir gelecek. Mümkün olan herşeyi, gücüm dahilinde olan herşeyi, geleceğin tam da planladığım gibi gerçekleşmesi için yapmışım. Hisse senetlerinin fiyatlarını aldıkları iyi haberlere dayanarak, mesela Federal Rezerv Kurulu'nun faiz oranlarını düşüreceği beklentisine dayanarak düşüren hisse komisyoncuları için “gelecek” nedir bir düşünelim. Kuruldan beklenen eylem gerçekten meydana geldiğinde, hisselere hiçbir şeyin olmaması durumunda, gelecek eylemi zaten fiyatın içinde inşa edilmiş durumdadır. Fakat imkansızın tecrübesinde, bütün bu makul hesap bozulur ve şeyler umutsuz görünür: Hastalık çok fazla yayılmıştır ve zaman içinde tedavisi gerçekleşmemiştir ve hasta için hiç umut yoktur. Fakat umut tam da bu kasvetli ve umutsuz zamanlarda gerekli değil midir? Umut ancak her şeyin umutsuz göründüğü ve umut etmenin çılgınca bir şey gibi göründüğü zaman umut değil midir? Umudun fırtınalı sularını cesaretlendirmeye ihtiyaç duyduğumuz zaman değil midir umudun riskini üstlenişimiz, yani bir tecrübenin ne anlama geldiğini hatırlamamız? Bu en azından hisse komisyoncuları veya Aristo'nun rasyonel ve bilgin öngörülülüğü değil hepimizin babası olan Hz. İbrahim'in görüşüdür. Hz. İbrahim, hisse borsası veya hesaplı öngörünün babası olarak değil, umudun babası olarak hatırlanır. Hz. İbrahim tam da umutsuz kaldığında, bedeni neredeyse ölüme yaklaştığında, yaklaşık yüz yaşına geldiği, Sara'nın bedeni de kısır kaldığında nesillerin babası olacağına dair Rabbin vaadine güvendi. Bunun imkânsız olduğuna tam anlamıyla kani olduğu için Hz. İbrahim umut etmeye devam etti, Aziz Paul'un “umuda karşı umut” (Rom. 4:18) dediği noktaya kadar. Umut ancak insan umuda karşı umut ettiğinde umuttur, ancak durum umutsuz olduğunda. Umut, ancak umut etmenin imkansız olduğu noktaya ilk yöneltildiğimizde umudun tam gücüne sahiptir –ve işte o zaman umuda karşı umut ederiz, tıpkı imanın inanılmaz karşısında iman olduğu gibi. Umut, ortada umut olmadığı halde, yapabileceğim tek şey umudu canlı tutmaya çalışmak olduğunda umuttur. Umut yok, bunu biliyorum ve buna ikna oldum, ama yine de umuyorum. Sadece imkânsızlık, imanın ve umudun en yüksek potansiyelini gerçekleştirimini sağlayacaktır. Mümkünün uzmanları çoktan arka kapıdan çıkmış olacaklar. Fakat Hz. İbrahim durum umutsuz olduğunda neden umutlanmaya devam etti? Çünkü “Tanrı vaat etmiş olduğunu yapabilecek güçteydi.”

John Caputo is a philosopher and theologian who has been talking about existentialism, deconstruction, religion, and God since before most of us were born.In this conversation he shares his extraordinary insight with us about what those words mean. how we relate to the universe, and the future of religion.

John D. Caputo has a long career as one of the preeminent postmodern philosophers in America. The author of such books as Radical Hermeneutics, The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida, and The Weakness of God, Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God. Part spiritual autobiography, part homily on what he calls the “nihilism of grace,” Hoping Against Hope (Fortress Press, 2015) calls believers and nonbelievers alike to participate in the “praxis of the kingdom of God,” which Caputo says we must pursue “without why.” Caputo’s conversation partners in this volume include Lyotard, Derrida, and Hegel, but also earlier versions of himself: Jackie, a young altar boy, and Brother Paul, a novice in a religious order. Caputo traces his own journey from faith through skepticism to hope, after the “death of God.” In the end, Caputo doesn’t want to do away with religion; he wants to redeem religion and to reinvent religion for a postmodern time.

Prof. Caputo has spearheaded a notion he calls “weak theology,” by which he means a “poetics” of the “event” that is harbored in the name (of) God, or that “insists” in the name (of) “God,” a notion that depends upon a reworking of the notions of event in Derrida to theological ends.

In this episode, Eric and Jacob talk to philosopher and "weak theologian" John Caputo, professor emeritus of philosophy at Villanova University and of religion at Syracuse. Particular topics include: Jack's new book on hermeneutics, the importance of demythologizing Heidegger, the supposed split (or not) between Gadamerian and Derridean reading, hermeneutics and the posthuman, and a delightful sermon from professor Caputo on the prologue to John's gospel. Next week, we'll be tackling Jürgen Moltmann's "A Theology of Hope," to go a bit against the anti-futurist grain that has been established so far in this show. You can find Caputo's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Hermeneutics-Facts-Interpretation-Age-Information-ebook/dp/B074Q5DZLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539105110&sr=8-1&keywords=hermeneutics+facts+and+interpretation+in+the+age+of+information Support us on Patreon!

Today is the day! HBC turns 10!  Jack Caputo is back and gives us 5 reasons to go Derrida: 1. Derrida give you the best argument against fundamentalism 2. It also is the best argument against modernism, including the new atheists, and reductionism 3. The undeconstructable, or unconditional, which is not a Platonic ideal, but a hope, an expectation. 4. Binary oppositions are deconstructable 5. The pervasive presence of biblical motifs in Derrida's work Jack also explains his relationship to Derrida and his work, how Derrida's atheism was not the end of theology but the beginning of a new, more interesting post-theistic theology, whether Derrida is to blame for post-modernism, why absolutists are much scarier than relativists, and why post-modernism is neither absolutism nor relativism, Plus, he tackles fundamentalism, the new atheists, Trump, and the distinction between beliefs and a deeper faith.

Love you. squareup.com/store/thedeconstructionists This week we spent some time nerding out with Jack Caputo. Highly influential to the ideas talked about on this podcast, Jack has ben an enormous influence on our friend Peter Rollins, as well as Brian McLaren, Karen Armstrong and many others. This episode is pure gold to those willing to listen and do the hard work of imagining. John D. Caputo, the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus (Syracuse University) and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus (Villanova University) is a hybrid philosopher/theologian who works in the area of radical theology. His most recent book, "The Insistence of God: A Theology of Perhaps," is a sequel to The Weakness of God, which develops his concept of radical theology and engages in dialogue with Malabou, Zizek and Latour. He has also just published "Truth," a part of the Penguin “Philosophy in Transit” series, aimed a general audience. His interest is centered on a poetics of the "event" harbored in the name of God. His past books have attempted to persuade us that hermeneutics goes all the way down ("Radical Hermeneutics"), that Derrida is a thinker to be reckoned with by theology ("The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida"), and that theology is best served by getting over its love affair with power and authority and embracing what Caputo calls, following St. Paul, "The Weakness of God." His notion of the weakness of God, an expression that needs to be interpreted carefully by following what he means by "event," is reducible neither to an orthodox notion of kenosis nor to a death of God theology (Altizer, Zizek), although it bears comparison to both. He has also addressed wider-than-academic audiences in "On Religion," "Philosophy and Theology," and "What Would Jesus Deconstruct?" and has an interest in interacting with working church groups like Ikon and the Emergent Church. While at Syracuse, Professor Caputo specialized in continental philosophy of religion, which means both working on radical approaches to religion and theology in the light of contemporary phenomenology, hermeneutics and deconstruction, and tracking down the traces of radical religious and theological motifs in contemporary continental philosophy.

John D. Caputo: "Deconstruction and A Religion of the Future."

John D. Caputo: "Deconstruction and A Religion of the Future."

Tripp chats with Leon Niemoczynski about a philosophical approach to sacred nature.  Leon Niemoczynski teaches in the Departments of Philosophy and Theology at Immaculata University near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and he is also currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at East Stroudsburg University, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Dr. Niemoczynski's research focuses on the philosophy of nature, where he is especially interested in issues pertaining to philosophical naturalism, logic and metaphysics, aesthetics, German idealism, philosophical ecology, animal ethics, environmental philosophy, and environmental philosophy's relationship to the philosophy of religion. He is the author/co-editor of Animal Experience: Consciousness and Emotions in the Natural World (Open Humanities Press, 2014), A Philosophy of Sacred Nature: Prospects for Ecstatic Naturalism (Lexington Books, 2014) and as sole author, Charles Sanders Peirce and a Religious Metaphysics of Nature (Lexington Books, 2011). He has published in numerous anthologies and journals including Process Studies, The Review of Metaphysics, The American Journal of Theology and Philosophy, and The Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture, to name but just a few. His most recent book chapter covered the philosophy of Quentin Meillassoux and the radical theology of John D. Caputo, which was published in The Future of Continental Philosophy of Religion (Indiana University Press, 2014). Leon is currently working on his newest book tentatively titled Speculative Naturalism: An Ecological Metaphysics which draws from the metaphysics and theological panentheistic-process perspectives of C.S. Peirce and Alfred North Whitehead, Gilles Deleuze, Friedrich Schelling, G.W.F. Hegel, and Quentin Meillassoux. He resides in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania with his wife Nalina.
