Religion After Certainty: Why Humans Still Reach for the Sacred - Couverture souple
Livre 2 sur 6: Sacred Ideas in Our Material Universe
Synopsis
What remains of religion when certainty is gone?
For millions of people, traditional belief has become difficult or impossible. Yet the needs religion has long addressed—the need for meaning, belonging, moral orientation, ritual, consolation, wonder and hope—have not disappeared.
Religion After Certainty asks a more useful question than whether religion is simply true or false: Why do human beings continue to reach for the sacred, even when supernatural claims no longer persuade them?
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, history, anthropology and the study of religion, Rodney Ashfield examines the enduring human impulses beneath faith. He explores how myth gives shape to experience, why rituals mark the moments facts alone cannot hold, how communities create shared worlds, and why music, grief, sacrifice, beauty and moral aspiration so often acquire religious depth.
This is neither a defence of dogma nor a dismissal of belief. It is a clear-eyed inquiry into what religion has understood about human nature, where religious institutions have failed, and what may still be worth preserving after certainty gives way to intellectual humility.
Inside, readers will explore:
- Why religion persists in scientific and secular societies
- How sacred symbols, stories and rituals shape identity
- What belief offers psychologically—and what it can cost
- Why community and ceremony remain difficult to replace
- How morality, reverence and transcendence can survive without unquestioned doctrine
- What a mature, post-dogmatic religious life might become
Authoritative without being academic, and sceptical without being cynical, Religion After Certainty speaks to believers, doubters, atheists, agnostics and the spiritually curious alike. It offers no return to borrowed certainty. Instead, it invites readers to consider whether religion can become more honest, humane and intellectually credible—and whether the sacred may still have a place in a material universe.
