In this book Don Cupitt presents his systematic philosophy of
religion. He begins by showing what is wrong with the way the
subject is usually taught: scraps from various philosophies of the
past are selected for use in the service of an agenda controlled by
theology. Inevitably, the resqlt is,something closer to religious
apologetics than to genuine philosophy. Cupitt sets out his
alternative approach in two parts.The first is a 'democratic
metaphysics'. Cupitt describes popular systematic philosophy as
being today the most urgently needed, and yet the most neglected,
kind of philosophy. He describes his own position as combining
nihilism with radical humanism, and as 'a language-mediated radical
religious humanism'. From this, Cupitt then derives 'philosophy's
own religion': It is without dogma. It is a religion of life in
which we learn to say Yes to,,transience, to practise expressive or
'solar' living, and to be humanitarians in social ethics. r
Philosophy's own religion is the religious outlook we would come tQ
if we were to make a new beginning, and to be strictly rational. It
is not wholly novel: versions of it'crop up often in the history of
philosophy. Another version of it was the very earliest form of
Christianity, the 'kingdom theology' of Jesus and the first
generation.
