Description

Explore the depths of human existence with this original contribution to the philosophy of religion by Brian R. Clack. Published by Routledge, this work examines how religious belief emerges from the turbulence and anxiety of life. Drawing inspiration from Freud's idea that human life requires cultural and psychological palliative care, Clack investigates the various measures used to make life endurable. The book evaluates the roles of intoxicants, religion, art, and love in mitigating suffering. This text provides a deep examination of how these different elements offer assistance in the face of human hardship.
