| Description: |
Terry Eagleton, investigates in this thought-provoking book the contradictions, difficulties, and significance of the modern search for a replacement for God.
Engaging with ideas, issues, and thinkers from the Enlightenment to today, Eagleton discusses the state of religion, the ironies surrounding Western capitalism's part in spawning not only secularism but also fundamentalism, and the un-satisfactory surrogates for the Almighty invented in the post-Enlightenment era.
The author reflects on the unique capacities of religion, the possibilities of culture and art as modern paths to salvation, the so-called war on terror's impact on atheism, and a host of other topics of concern to those who envision a future in which just and compassionate communities thrive. |
