Home Page for Ron Kuipers
Ronald A. Kuipers, PhD (Free University), MPhil (Institute for
Christian Studies) is assistant professor of the philosophy of religion.
His research and teaching concentrate on the continuing social relevance of
religious life patterns in pluralistic Western societies. He pursues that
discussion by working with such intellectual traditions as pragmatism and
critical theory, among others. Kuipers is the author of Critical
Faith: Toward a Renewed Understanding of Religious Life and its Public
Accountability and Solidarity and the Stranger: Themes in the Social
Philosophy of Richard Rorty. He has co-edited two books: Walking the
Tightrope of Faith: Philosophical Conversations about Reason and Religion
and Philosophy as Responsibility: A Celebration of Hendrik Hart's
Contribution to the Discipline.
