Title: Capitalism and Religion
Description: "Capitalism and Religion suggests that our attachment to modernity is above all an expression of a piety - developing arguments from Nietzsche and Schelling, Adorno and Horkheimer, Spinoza and Marx, Bergson and Deleuze, it discovers an implicit piety and social function in Western reason: thought is shaped for exchange in a democratic market-place. Under such conditions, how can thought take responsibility for its own ethical practice? Philip Goodchild's breakdown of the philosophy of modernity calls for a rediscovery of absolutes tough enough to withstand capitalism's hyper-flux, yet fluid enough to construct new forms of knowledge and consciousness. Effectively capturing today's zeitgeist, and attuned to the individual and environmental problems of contemporary globalization, this book reconstructs a space for philosophy of religion within engaged critical thought."--BOOK JACKET.
