Andre C. Willis, Assistant Professor of the Philosophy of Religion. His main intellectual focus is modern liberal philosophy of religion and theological thought. His current project, “Hume and Hope: A Study in David Hume’s Philosophy of Religion,” argues that a nontraditional concept of hope suffuses Hume’s work. This type of hope, he contends, can be a new, pluralistic source for religion. Professor Willis is also interested in the intersection of art and religion, and he is beginning an exploration of religious and spiritual dimensions of the work of Thornton Wilder. His other research interests are African American thought and history, and jazz music.
