In this book, Brook Ziporyn proposes an alternative that avoids both totalizing theomania and atomizing reductionism. What we need, he argues, is a deeper, more thoroughgoing, even \u003ci\u003ereligious \u003c\/i\u003erejection of God: an affirmative atheism without either a creator to provide meaning or finite creatures in need of it—a mystical atheism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the legacies of Daoism and Buddhism as well as Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bataille, Ziporyn discovers a critique of theism that develops into a new, positive sensibility—at once deeply atheist and richly religious. \u003ci\u003eExperiments in Mystical Atheism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that these “godless epiphanies” hold the key to renewing philosophy today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53524472103286,"sku":"9780226835266","price":33.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_30910250.jpg?v=1729668541","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780226835266-experiments-in-mystical-atheism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
