Value Beyond Monotheism

<p>This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine.</p><p>To date most of the literature on the axiology of theism focuses almost exclusively on the axiological status of theism and atheism. Specifically it focuses almost entirely on monotheism typically Judeo-Christian conceptions of God and atheism usually construed as ontological naturalism. This volume features essays from prominent philosophers of religion ethicists and metaphysicians addressing the value impact of alternative views such as ultimism polytheism pantheism panentheism and idealism. Additionally it reflects a wider trend in analytic philosophy of religion to broaden its scope beyond the Judeo-Christian tradition.</p><p><i>Value Beyond Monotheism</i> will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion ethics and metaphysics.</p>
