| Description: |
If religion is a form of childishness, what would take the place of an empty heaven? These central issues, and others, are explored by the author, with reference to 20th century literature, in which these issues may be stated more directly than in contemporary religious philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
Is religion necessarily a form of fantasy, a superstitious childishness we should have put aside by now? If so, what takes the place of empty heaven? May idle dreams threaten secular moralities as much as they threaten religion? If so, are there authentic forms of religion as well as authentic forms of morality which transcend these threats? These central issues are explored philosophically by the author with reference to twentieth century literature. |
