What is religion’s place in the academy today? Are religious
perspectives viable in a pluralistic academic setting? In his lucid and
penetrating essay Religion in the University, prominent philosopher of
religion Nicholas Wolterstorff draws on authors ranging from Max Weber
and John Locke to Ludwig Wittgenstein and Charles Taylor to argue that
religious orientations and voices do have a home in modern academic
discussion. He also offers a sketch of what that home should look like.
He will be joined by panelists Eddie S. Glaude (Princeton), Zena Hitz
(St. John’s College), and Jeffrey L. Stout (Princeton) to discuss these
questions. The panel is chaired by the PPPR’s director Andrew Chignell.
