Carlos Andrés Segovia

Philosopher and scholar of religion Carlos A. Segovia

Carlos Andrés Segovia y Corral (born 22 May 1970 in London, United Kingdom) is a philosopher and a scholar of religious studies.

He is lecturer in religious studies at Saint Louis University in Madrid, Spain. [1]

While over the past ten years he has mostly worked on late-antique religion, his current research focuses instead on the study of religion at the crossroads of contemporary philosophy, cosmopolitics, and postcoloniality. On the one hand, he works on the definitions, forms, contexts, causes, and implications of religious violence against the background of Integrated World Capitalism, and, on the other hand, on non-Western animistic ontologies and the revision of conceptual production in the social sciences and the humanities and its potential delinking from the hegemonic power/knowledge regimes of global neoliberalism. He is also series co- editor of Apocalypticism: Cross-disciplinary Explorations at Peter Lang. [2]

He is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles, including the monographs: The Quranic Noah and the Making of the Islamic Prophet: A Study of Intertextuality and Religious Identity Formation in Late Antiquity,[3] and The Quranic Jesus: A New Interpretation,[4]

He is the youngest child of the celebrated classical guitarist Andrés Segovia, the first Marquis of Salobreña.[5]
