In a thoroughly updated second edition of his popular and engaging
book, John D. Caputo revisits Augustine's ancient question "what do
I love when I love my God?" and presses it into service in the
post-modern world. Accessible but without compromising the big
ideas, he raises the question of what religion means today in the
face of widespread religious violence after 9/11, of spreading
secularization, the dazzling discoveries of contemporary cosmology,
and the eerie advent of the "post-human" world. All along sculpting
the idea of a post-modern, post-secular "religion without
religion," which turns on the "mystical element" of our lives, he
wonders what the future of traditional religion will be, or whether
it even has one. On Religion will fascinate anyone interested in
the challenges religion faces in the contemporary world. It offers
an ideal starting point from which undergraduate and postgraduate
students, teachers, and lecturers can explore religion and
philosophy today.
