Philip Goodchild. Professor of Religion and Philosophy. Philip Goodchild is a philosopher of religion whose work is influenced by the broad tradition of radical European critical thought.

He works on reason, metaphysics, capitalism, finance, money, and philosophy as a spiritual exercise. While not disavowing his Anglican heritage, he rejects markers of identity, preferring to participate in a collective inquiry that cuts across disciplinary, cultural and religious divides. He is author of Gilles Deleuze and the Question of Philosophy [UK | US], Deleuze and Guattari: An Introduction to the Politics of Desire [UK | US], Capitalism and Religion: The Price of Piety [UK | US], and Theology of Money [UK | US].
