How does thinking illuminate the spiritual view of life? How does a
close examination of key spiritual thinkers help us to live in the
modern world? And in what way does philosophy enhance spirituality?
In this book, Richard White answers these questions by analysing a
range of important philosophers, from Schopenhauer in the first
half of the 19th century to Irigaray in the present day. Each
chapter examines the work of a single writer and one closely
associated theme, such as Nietzsche on generosity, Benjamin on
wisdom, and Derrida on mourning. The author looks at philosophy and
spirituality in the tradition of continental philosophy, and he
views spirituality as something that can be separated from
religion. With the rise of reductive scientific materialism
becoming ever more prevalent in modern society, White seeks to
recover the idea of a spiritual tradition which is not otherworldly
but philosophical in nature. The thinkers discussed in this book
articulate some of the deepest possibilities of human existence.
Spiritual Philosophers offers an approach to philosophy as a
spiritual practice, which the author sees as an integral part of
our life. As a pioneering work in an emerging field - the
philosophy of spirituality -- this book contributes to several key
debates surrounding spirituality, theology and the role of
philosophy in the contemporary world.
