The number of self-professed ÌatheistsÌ continues to grow. Yet many still feel an intense spiritual longing for a connection to what Aristotle called the Ìeternal and divine.Ì For those who do, but demand a God that is compatible with their modern ideals, a new theology is required. This is what Anthony Kronman offers here, in a book that leads its readers away from the inscrutable Creator of the Abrahamic religions toward a God whose inexhaustible and everlasting presence is that of the world itself. Kronman defends an ancient conception of God, deepened and transformed by Christian beliefÌthe born-again paganism on which modern science, art, and politics all vitally depend. Brilliantly surveying centuries of Western thoughtÌfrom Plato to Augustine, Aquinas, and Kant, from Spinoza to Nietzsche, Darwin, and FreudÌKronman recovers and reclaims the God we need today. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Modern $y 21st century. 941 $a 5 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014127.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010336.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204090953.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012819.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502030544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B3AC8ECB85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
