Living without God: A Multicultural Spectrum of Atheism de Sanjit Chakraborty

Living without God: A Multicultural Spectrum of Atheism: Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures, cartea 37

Editat de Sanjit Chakraborty, Anway Mukhopadhyay
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2023
This book deals with the intricate issue of approaching atheism—methodologically as well as conceptually—from the perspective of cultural pluralism. What does ‘atheism’ mean in different cultural contexts? Can this term be applied appropriately to different religious discourses which conceptualize God/gods/Goddess/goddesses (and also godlessness) in hugely divergent ways? Is my ‘God’ the same as yours? If not, then how can your atheism be the same as mine? In other words, this volume raises the question: Is it not high time that we proposed a comparative study of atheism(s) alongside that of religions, rather than believing that atheism is centered in the ‘Western’ experience? Apart from answering these questions, the book highlights the much-needed focus on the philosophical negotiations between atheism, theism and agnosticism. The fine chapters collected here present pluralist negotiations with the notion of atheism and its ethical, theological, literary and scientific corollaries.
