Philosophy of Religion In Northern Europe
The post-secular condition raises new challenges for academic co-operation. Philosophy of Religion has become a growing field of research, connecting scholars from the Humanities and Social Sciences in inter-disciplinary research. Recognising the need for closer co-operation between philosophy and theology, sociology, and religious studies, researchers from all over Northern Europe established the research network Philosophy of Religion in Northern Europe [PRINE] in 2007.
