Description:
Don Cupitt, professor of philosophy and religion, accepts Nietzsche's death knell for God and writes off the worldwide rise of conservative religious movements as a mere reactionary convulsion. The significance of religion for him lies not in faith but in the therapeutic value of orienting oneself in relation to a metaphysical otherness, even if it is only imaginary. Until now, the valuable existential techniques available in traditional religions have always demanded the prerequisite of faith. Cupitt's daring reformulation of religion drops this prerequisite and demands only a sincerity and creativity that can perpetually recreate modern global culture by drawing on all available religious traditions.
