This collection of essays by James Bradley showcases his unique
vision: a speculative cosmology of the Trinity, drawing on the vast
history of Western philosophy. This journey led him into an
intensive study of a number of different thinkers, ancient and
modern, including Plato, John Scotus Eriugena, Duns Scotus, Hegel,
Schelling, Peirce, Whitehead and Collingwood.
This is the first major effort to systematically organise and
evaluate Schelling's arguments for a Philosophy of Revelation and
to demonstrate their importance for contemporary debates in
speculative realism, new realism and post-secularism. Schelling's
decisionism has long been recognised as the historical root of
European existentialism, but has never been properly explained as a
philosophical strategy. According to McGrath, Schelling's turn to
the real is neither fideistic nor absurdist, but the consequence of
the free decision of the philosopher who has soberly assessed the
results of logic, nature-philosophy and epistemology.
Moving between ancient and modern sources, philosophy and theology,
and science and popular culture, Sean McGrath offers a genuinely
new reflection on what it means to be human in an era of climate
change, mass extinction and geoengineering. Engaging with
contemporary thinkers in eco-criticism, including Timothy Morton,
Bruno Latour and Slavoj Zizek, McGrath argues for a distinctive
role for the human being in the universe: the human being is nature
come to full consciousness. McGrath's compelling case for a new
Anthropocenic humanism is founded on a reverence for nature, a
humanism that is not at the expense of nature, and a naturalism
that is not at the expense of the human.
