Abstract
Continental philosophy of religion is inescapably European. This Europeanness is much more than geographic. It entails a variety of understandings of subjectivity, epistemology, ontology, politics, ethics and the relation between these different concepts. I examine how continental philosophy has insufficiently confronted its Europeanness and critique the way that comparisons with analytic philosophy can result in a self-satisfied conception of the field. Drawing on Nietzsche, Deleuze and Sylvia Wynter I argue for a transmutation of continental philosophy of religion. I conclude by examining how work on agency and secularism is illustrative of the need for this transmutation.
