The primary aim of this series is to promote constructive thinking about notions that matter to human beings in theoretical, existential, and practical ways by way of engagement with disciplines and approaches such as Continental philosophy, semiotics, cultural studies, feminism, anthropology, psychology, sociology, political science, and the media. The series was conceived of and originally named Contemporary Religious Thought by the eminent scholar and good friend, Charles E. Winquist, whose premature death was a deeply-felt loss; so much so that the decision was made to continue the series under its new name in his memory. We have kept the books  associated with the original series, and we will continue to add to the list with works that he would have been proud to publish. Books in this category include Thomas J. J. Altizer, The New Apocalypse: The Radical Christian Vision of William Blake Thomas J. J.
