A Non-Philosophical Theory of Nature

10.1057/9781137331977 - A Non-Philosophical Theory of Nature, Anthony Paul Smith

Radical Theologies is a call for transformational theologies that break out of traditional locations and approaches. The rhizomic ethos of radical theologies enable the series to engage with an ever-expanding radical expression and critique of theologies that have entered or seek to enter the public sphere, arising from the continued turn to religion and especially radical theology in politics, social sciences, philosophy, theory, cultural, and literary studies. The post-theistic theology both driving and arising from these intersections is the focus of this series. Series Editors Mike Grimshaw is an associate professor of Sociology at Canterbury University in New Zealand. Michael Zbaraschuk is a lecturer at the University of Washington, Tacoma and a visiting assistant professor at Pacific Lutheran University. Joshua Ramey is a visiting assistant professor at Haverford College. Religion, Politics, and the Earth: The New Materialism By Clayton Crockett and Jeffrey W.
