| Riepilogo: | An increasingly common complaint about philosophy of religion-especially, though not exclusively, as it is pursued in the 'analytic tradition'-is that its preoccupation with questions of rationality and justification in relation to 'theism' has deflected attention from the diversity of forms that religious life takes. Among measures proposed for ameliorating this condition has been the deployment of 'thick description' that facilitates more richly contextualized understandings of religious phenomena. Endorsing and elaborating this proposal, I provide an overview of different but related notions of thick description before turning to two specific examples, which illustrate the potential for engagement with ethnography to contribute to an expanded conception of philosophy of religion. |
