Abstract
Why has Academic Philosophy of Religion Disappeared in The Netherlands? The question why academic philosophy of religion disappeared in the Netherlands has been raised by Arie L. Molendijk, Marcel Sarot and Albert F. de Jong. Central to their arguments is the way philosophers of religion positioned themselves. Contrary to this ‘internal’ emphasis, I will argue that the disappearance of philosophy of religion is a consequence of developments in society. As society changed, the choices of potential students changed, and university administrators followed. That has not much to do with the specific way in which academic philosophers of religion understood their own discipline.
