Richard Kearney's Anatheistic Wager: Philosophy, Theology, Poetics

Richard Kearney's Anatheistic Wager: Philosophy, Theology, Poetics

Matthew Clemente
0/5 ( ratings)
This anthology of fifteen essays provides a variety of critical perspectives on the influential ideas in Richard Kearney's Anatheism.

Blaise Pascal famously insisted that it was better to wager belief in God than to risk eternal damnation. More recently, the distinguished philosopher Richard Kearney has offered a wager of his own--the anatheistic wager, or return to God after the death of God. In this volume, an international group of contributors consider what Kearney's spiritual wager means.

This volume examines what is at stake with such a wager and what anatheism demands of the self and of others. The essays explore the dynamics of religious anatheistic performativity, its demarcations and limits, and its motives.

A recent interview with Kearney focuses on crucial questions about philosophy, theology, and religious commitment. As a whole, this volume interprets and challenges Kearney's philosophy of religion and its radical impact on contemporary views of God.
