Description
x"Would you trust God if he was undefined?" asked Elias Canetti. The work Deus ex Metaphora ponders why philosophers have created new and undefined concepts of divinity alongside the religious ones, and why they became hard to reconcile with religious traditions. Nameless formulas created a new story of the divine. Despite the family resemblances, they have created a separate branch of images of divinity, in line with philosophy's claims to universal, independent explanations. In this analysis of metaphors of the divine, referring to the metaphorology of Hans Blumenberg and historical semantics, the concept of the God of the philosophers becomes clear and distinct.
