Introduction

More specifically, this volume’s aim is, first of all, to gain an overview of some of the most important contemporary philosophical approaches to Christianity, especially as regards its significance for a philosophical reflection on and from within the current Western context, a context that is marked by secularization and pluralization. Therefore, we selected some important representative thinkers who are familiar with contemporary continental philosophy as well as some scholars who continue their intellectual research in the line of protagonists such as Derrida, Ricœur, Levinas, Nancy, Žižek, Badiou, Girard, etc.
