Value Beyond Monotheism Summary

Value Beyond Monotheism: The Axiology of the Divine by Kirk Lougheed

This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine.

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.

Value Beyond Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion, ethics, and metaphysics.

Value Beyond Monotheism Reviews

"This volume fills an obvious gap in current debates about the axiology of religion, helping us to understand how non-theistic and non-standard Abrahamic alternatives to traditional theism bear upon key questions about the relative value of worlds in which key religious beliefs are trueor false." Scott A. Davison, Morehead State University, USA
