The Experience of Atheism: Phenomenology, Metaphysics and Religion
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-16763-6 (ISBN)
Revealing the extent to which religious and atheistic belief must be seen to influence, and on a fundamental level, to co-create one another, the pluralistic society in which religious belief is counted as one option amongst many is given primacy. The fact that religious faith has become not only optional but also, in many contexts, strangely alienated from society, deeply modifies the experience of the believer as much as that of the non-believer. A focus on ‘experience’, over and above ‘belief’, moves us towards a mode of experiential knowledge which refuses to privilege the atheistic believer and deride the reality of religious belief.
