englischIn his bestseller on the meaning of the meaning of life, the renowned philosopher Volker Gerhardt endeavours to remap the much disputed territory between faith and knowledge, and explains why people with strong religious beliefs should try to be close to God using both their heads and their hearts. By analysing the works of Plato and Kant, Gerhardt develops a form of theology that incorporates rational thinking, which, despite its unquestionable belief in the Creation, continually allows reason to rise from the ruins of its own dialectic. In direct discussion with Gerhardt, the studies in this interdisciplinary volume explore the opportunities offered and the risks posed by such a form of theology. Due to the variety of religious philosophical and theological opinions it posits, this book also provides an excellent introduction to the current debate on post-secularism.

»Michael Kühnleins Reader kann wichtige Hinweise geben zur Sinnbezogenheit menschlichen Existierens, und er ermöglicht zugleich einen Einblick in die heute geführte Diskussion um das Pro und Kontra einer monistischen Absetzbewegung vom überkommenen theistischen Transzendenzdenken.«
Prof. Dr. Hans-Ludwig Ollig, ThPh 2017, 275

»Dass Gerhardts Gedanken vielfältigen Widerhall fanden, dafür ist dieses
kleine inhaltsreiche Büchlein ein Zeugnis.«
Heidelberger Predigerforum Januar 2019
