謝謝妳提供的消息。

D. Z. Phillips是主力把維根斯坦的後期思想應用在宗教上的健將,他過世後,有關方面的研究可能就後繼無人了。

Anyone interested in reading Phillips? This is a good one both in itself and because of the significance of the topic he treats:
Phillips, D. Z. (2005), The Problem of Evil and the Problem of God, Augsburg Fortress.

Of course, not now, but may be later. Or if anyone wants to share any thoughts on Phillips (and his Wittgensteinian approach – which is considered eccentric by some and in any case is an anomaly in mainstream academic theology or philosophy of religion), I would love to learn more.

噢,一連聽得兩名著名哲學教授去逝,有點傷感。:teardrop:

這令我想起哲學界裡的 Leiter Report 說,在未來十數年,美國學界裡的人文學科會有人才缺乏的問題。或許因為是幾十年前的美國有太多人去了做科研或從商。

那麼從歐洲和亞洲輸入人才啦。
