{"product_id":"nietzsche-religion-and-mood-sampsa-andrei-saarinen-9783110620320","title":"Nietzsche, Religion, and Mood","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow does Nietzsche, as psychologist, envision the future of religion and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eatheism? While there has been no lack of \"psychological\" studies that \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ehave sought to illuminate Nietzsche's philosophy of religion by \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003einterpreting his biography, this monograph is the first comprehensive \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003estudy to approach the topic through the philosopher's own psychological \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ethinking. The author shows how Nietzsche's critical writings on religion, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eand especially on religious decline and future possibilities, are informed \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eby his psychological thinking about moods. The author furthermore \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eargues that the clarification of this aspect of the philosopher's work is \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eessential to interpreting some of the most ambiguous words found in his \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ewritings; the words that God is dead. Instead of merely denying the \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eexistence of God in a way that leaves a melancholic need for religion or a \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003efutile search for replacements intact, Nietzsche arguably envisions the \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003epossibility of a radical atheism, which is characterized by a mood of joyful \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003edoubt. The examination of this vision should be of great interest to \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003escholars of Nietzsche and of the history of philosophy, but also of \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003erelevance to all those who take an interest in the interdisciplinary \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ediscourse on secularization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sampsa Andrei Saarinen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110620324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110620320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.69d","brand":"Sampsa Andrei Saarinen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213278474495,"sku":"9783110620320","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9345066-a56f-41f7-9fb3-6cd1d16ed34e.jpg?v=1692112992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nietzsche-religion-and-mood-sampsa-andrei-saarinen-9783110620320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
