Negative Natural Theology

Christopher J. Insole, Professor of Philosophical Theology and Ethics, Department of Theology and Religion, University of Durham

After teaching at the Universities of London and Cambridge, Christopher Insole took up his post at Durham in 2006, where he is Professor of Philosophical Theology and Ethics. He has published on realism and anti-realism, religious epistemology, the relationship between theology, metaphysics, and political philosophy, and on the thought of Immanuel Kant. His books include his two major studies of Kant’s relationship to theology (Oxford, 2020 and 2013). His recent research has moved into a more contemporary and constructive key, engaging with the category of natural theology, as it meets the limits of reason and knowledge.
