<p>The concerns of philosophy and of religion overlap to a considerable extent. Each seeks, among other things, to develop an account of mankind's place in the universe. But their relationship has never been an easy one - faith gives rise to philosophical puzzlement just as secular beliefs do, but it also generates special philosophical questions that secular beliefs do not. Surveying traditional and contemporary views on the often troubled relationship between philosophical reason and religious faith, this is an introduction to the subject for students of both philosophy and religion. It acknowledges religious pluralism and the relevance of non-Christian religious views.</p>

He has made his mark especially in moral theory, social and political philosophy, the philosophy of religion, and metaphilosophy. In all these fields, he has consistently both advocated and exemplified the intellectual virtues of courage, clarity, candor, and reason.In this book, a group of distinguished colleagues and friends honor Nielsen's career with essays bearing on issues of abiding importance to him over his more than thirty years of philosophical activity. The resulting volume testifies both to the continuing value of Nielsen's work and to the liveliness and relevance of contemporary philosophy in these fields.
