Abstract |
The history of Australian philosophy of religion - what a topic! Who gives a Donald about Australian history, the history of philosophy, philosophy of religion, or Australian philosophy? Well, I care and my caring is one part pride to two parts anger. And the anger is way beyond your average grumpy old professor - by anger I mean wrath. To explain why, I shall eventually concentrate on Australian philosophical atheism. First, though, I should state that a list of Australian contributions to philosophy of religion would exhibit both quantity and quality. I shall spare you the ten-page footnote! As Australian philosophers say over and over again, philosophy is one of the things we do very well. Next let me pay homage to Max Charlesworth, who founded a rather good little journal, 'Sophia', and championed a sensitive approach to philosophy of religion at the height of philosophical machismo.
