Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume provides a comparative philosophical investigation into a particular concept from a variety of angles-in this case, the concept of 'miracle.' The text covers deeply philosophical questions around the miracle, with a multiplicity of answers. Each chapter brings its own focus to this multifaceted effort. The volume rejects the primarily western focus that typically dominates philosophy of religion and is filled with particular examples of miracle narratives, community responses, and polemical scenarios across widely varying religious contexts and historical periods.
