Colloquia and Special Issues
Joseph has served as guest editor of four special issue collections in peer-reviewed academic journals. The Philosophies of Love collection, the most recent, and still coming together (only a few have been published) was based on an internally funded workshop hosted here in Dublin in March of 2024, with French philosopher Claude Romano generously joining us for the day.
2025
The philosophical investigation of love invokes millennia-long conversations stretching from Plato’s Symposium to Kierkegaard and Binswanger in the 19th and early 20th centuries ...
2024
The scope of the present Special Issue asks broader methodological questions: What is philosophy of religion as such? Does such a disciplinary category, “philosophy of religion”, maintain its integrity as a genuine academic mode of inquiry, given such variety? We encourage analytic or continental perspectives as well as early medieval, early modern, and late modern figures to be examined.
2019
The scope of the special issue is to explore and complicate political theology’s understanding of late-modern pluralism. Existing literature on the topic, from Charles Taylor to Stanley Hauerwas, continues to wrestle with basic definitions of pluralism, secularism, liberalism, etc. Contributions here should help clarify and refine these terms in a theological and philosophical light.
2018
This special issue explores the various French figures responsible for the "theological turn" in phenomenology that Dominique Janicaud discussed in the early 1990s.
2024
Edited book: Theological Fringes of Phenomenology
This collection explores phenomenology and theology, co-edited with friend and colleague Joe O’Leary, who is based in Japan.
