Unthought Unfreedoms: Engaged and Critical Perspectives on Philosophy of Religion

Philosophical reflection often involves thinking through certain types of conditions. How might we understand, and possibly interrogate, texts and topics in the philosophy of religion with attention to the effects of contingent yet persistent social structures? How might such an engaged and critical question help us consider ways of relating philosophy of religion to the AAR’s 2025 presidential theme of “freedom”? We seek papers that discuss the various ways that philosophers of religion might identify unfreedoms, and then argue the merits of leaving these conditions intact.
