Richard Curtis has issued a call for contributors to a an edited volume “that would stake out a middle ground between the extreme views on religion that are prominent in American culture today (radical atheism from Dennett and Dawkins on the one hand, and fundamentalism on the other)”:
The idea for this book grew out of a session I chaired for the Radical Philosophy Association at the annual meeting of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association. That session involved atheists who were responding to the “New Atheists,” but in putting together a book Lexington would like more material, so I am looking for more contributors, and a broader range of topics.
The working theme of the book is “Reasonable Atheists and Theists Responding to Unreasonable Atheists and Theists.” In addition to hoping to use the papers from the session I have already received chapters from a two senior scholars one in sociology and one in theology and have requests out to others and a couple who are thinking about possible projects.
