How can we live in such a way that we die only once? How can we
organise a society that gives us a better chance to be fully alive?
How can we reinvent religion so that it liberates us instead of
consoling us? These questions stand at the centre of Roberto
Mangabeira Unger's The Religion of the Future. Both a book about
religion and a religious work in its own right, it proposes the
content of a religion that can survive faith in a transcendent God
and in life after death. According to this religion-the religion of
the future-human beings can be more human by becoming more godlike,
not just later, in another life or another time, but right now, on
Earth and in their own lives. Unger begins by facing the
irreparable flaws in the human condition: our mortality,
groundlessness, and insatiability. He goes on to discuss the
conflicting approaches to existence that have dominated the last
2,500 years of the history of religion. Turning next to the
religious revolution that we now require, he explores the political
ideal of this revolution, an idea of deep freedom. And he develops
its moral vision, focused on a refusal to squander life. The
Religion of the Future advances Unger's philosophical program: a
philosophy for which history is open, the new can happen, and
belittlement need not be our fate.
