In the wake of both the semiotic and the psychoanalytic
revolutions, how is it possible to describe the object of religious
worship in realist terms? Semioticians argue that each object is
known only insofar as it gives birth to a series of signs and
interpretants (new signs). From the psychoanalytic side, religious
beliefs are seen to belong to transference energies and projections
that contaminate the religious object with all-too-human complexes.
In Nature's Religion, distinguished theologian and philosopher
Robert S. Corrington weaves together the concept of infinite
semiosis with that of the transference to show that the self does
have access to something in nature that is intrinsically religious.
Corrington argues that signs and our various transference fields
can and do connect us with fully natural religious powers that are
not of our own making, thereby opening up a path past the Western
monotheisms to a capacious religion of nature. With a foreword by
Robert C. Neville, Nature's Religion is essential reading for
philosophers of religion, scholars of the psychology of religion,
and theologians.
