PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Nathan Eric Dickman (PhD, The University of Iowa) is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Ozarks, USA. He researches in hermeneutic phenomenology, philosophy of language, and comparative questions in philosophies of religions, with particular concerns about global social justice issues in ethics and religions. He has taught a breadth of courses, from Critical Thinking to Zen, and Existentialism to Greek & Arabic philosophy. Using Questions to Think (Bloomsbury, 2021) examines the roles questions play in critical thinking and reasoning, and Philosophical Hermeneutics and the Priority of Questions in Religions (Bloomsbury, 2022) examines the roles questions play in religious discourse.
In this volume, Nathan Eric Dickman rightly and adroitly draws attention to the place that questioning holds in three major forms of religious discourse. Dickman's careful consideration of the implications of the central role that skillful questioning plays in these traditions' processes of meaning-creation is impressive. * Robert Steed, Associate Professor of Humanities, Hawkeye Community College, USA * This book promises to shift profoundly our understanding of the role of questions in religion. While it is common today to conceive of religion as a source of answers to questions, Dickman masterfully demonstrates how this overlooks a pattern in sacred writings where deistic figures pose rather than resolve questions. * Carolyn Culbertson, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Florida Gulf Coast University, USA *
