The Intersection of Philosophy and Theology

Dr. John Caputo operates within the hybrid space between philosophy and theology, identifying himself as a philosopher with a focus on philosophical theology, particularly radical theology. His approach challenges traditional, dogmatic views and emphasizes the relational aspects of existence rather than strict definitions or ontological claims about God. He highlights the importance of engaging students deeply rooted in religious traditions, allowing for a critical examination of beliefs without dismissing the significance of those beliefs. By bridging philosophy and radical theology, he encourages a more nuanced understanding of religious concepts through a lens that values questioning and exploration.
