Abstract

A côté de ce que les religions disent ou ressassent avec des mots de leurs croyances, de leurs espoirs, de leurs conceptions du monde, de la vie, des fins dernières et du divin, les images, dans un climat le plus souvent de plus grande liberté, bien que muettes, "parlent" et même "en disent long" sur les religions qui les ont suscitées. François Boespflug et Françoise Bayle ont eu l'idée "parlante" de sélectionner, en les puisant à l'intérieur des patrimoines iconographiques concernés, celles des images des trois grands monothéismes où s'exprime le mieux leur identité profonde, c'est-à-dire leur doctrine et leur expérience spirituelle. Pour chacune des trois grandes religions abrahamiques, ils présentent, commentent et font parler six images afin d'entamer et de favoriser un authentique et indispensable "dialogue des images".

Abstract

A positive assessment of secularism and the possibilities it offers for a genuinely meaningful life without religion. Although there is no shortage of recent books arguing against religion, few offer a positive alternative—how anyone might live a fulfilling life without the support of religious beliefs. This enlightening book fills the gap. Philip Kitcher constructs an original and persuasive secular perspective, one that answers human needs, recognizes the objectivity of values, and provides for the universal desire for meaningfulness. Kitcher thoughtfully and sensitively considers how secularism can respond to the worries and challenges that all people confront, including the issue of mortality. He investigates how secular lives compare with those of people who adopt religious doctrines as literal truth, as well as those who embrace less literalistic versions of religion. Whereas religious belief has been important in past times, Kitcher concludes that evolution away from religion is now essential. He envisions the successors to religious life, where the senses of identity and community traditionally fostered by religion will instead draw on a broader range of cultural items—those provided by poets, filmmakers, musicians, artists, scientists, and others. With clarity and deep insight, Kitcher reveals the power of secular humanism to encourage fulfilling human lives built on ethical truth.

Abstract

This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the intellectual history of science, religion, and “the occult” in the early 20th century. By developing a new approach to Max Weber’s famous idea of a “disenchantment of the world”, and drawing on an impressively diverse set of sources, Egil Asprem opens up a broad field of inquiry that connects the histories of science, religion, philosophy, and Western esotericism.0Parapsychology, occultism, and the modern natural sciences are usually viewed as distinct cultural phenomena with highly variable intellectual credentials. In spite of this view, Asprem demonstrates that all three have met with similar intellectual problems related to the intelligibility of nature, the relation of facts to values, and the dynamic of immanence and transcendence, and solved them in comparable terms.

Abstract

In the Vale of Tears brings to a culmination the project for a renewed and enlivened debate over the interaction between Marxism and religion. It does so by offering the author's own response to that tradition. It simultaneously draws upon the rich insights of a significant number of Western Marxists and strikes out on its own. Thus, it argues for the crucial role of political myth on the Left; explores the political ambivalence at the heart of Christianity; challenges the bent among many on the Left to favour the unexpected rupture of kairós as a key to revolution; is highly suspicious of the ideological and class alignments of ethics; offers a thorough reassessment of the role of fetishism in the Marxist tradition; and broaches the question of death, unavoidable for any Marxist engagement with religion. While the book is the conclusion to the five-volume series, The Criticism of Heaven and Earth , it also stands alone as a distinct intervention in some burning issues of our time. Winner of the 2014 Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize.
