What do people believe about death and the afterlife? How do they
negotiate the relationship between science and religion? How do
they understand apparently paranormal events? What do they make of
sensations of awe, wonder or exceptional moments of sudden
enlightenment? The volunteer mass observers responded to such
questions with a freshness, openness and honesty which compels
attention. Using this rich material, Mass Observers Making Meaning
captures the extraordinarily diverse landscape of belief and
disbelief to be found in Britain in the late 20th-century, at a
time when Christianity was in steep decline, alternative
spiritualities were flourishing and atheism was growing. Divided as
they were about the ultimate nature of reality, the mass observers
were united in their readiness to puzzle about life’s larger
questions. Listening empathetically to their accounts, James Hinton
– himself a convinced atheist – seeks to bring divergent ways
of finding meaning in human life into dialogue with one another,
and argues that we can move beyond the cacophony of conflicting
beliefs to an understanding of our common need and ability to seek
meaning in our lives.
