In this book, Brook Ziporyn proposes an alternative that avoids both totalizing theomania and atomizing reductionism. What we need, he argues, is a deeper, more thoroughgoing, even \u003ci\u003ereligious \u003c\/i\u003erejection of God: an affirmative atheism without either a creator to provide meaning or finite creatures in need of it--a mystical atheism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the legacies of Daoism and Buddhism as well as Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bataille, Ziporyn discovers a critique of theism that develops into a new, positive sensibility--at once deeply atheist and richly religious. \u003ci\u003eExperiments in Mystical Atheism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that these \"godless epiphanies\" hold the key to renewing philosophy today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brook Ziporyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022683526X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226835266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.93d","brand":"Brook Ziporyn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233279922431,"sku":"9780226835266","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56f685f4-a256-43b2-a382-93f7999b0bab.jpg?v=1728992576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/experiments-in-mystical-atheism-brook-ziporyn-9780226835266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
