Description

In this original philosophical exploration, Brian R. Clack examines how religious belief emerges from human anxiety and existential turbulence. Drawing on Freudian theory, the book investigates the cultural and psychological mechanisms that help us endure life's hardships. Clack systematically evaluates four key palliative measures - intoxicants, religion, art, and love - exploring their distinct roles in mitigating suffering and enabling a bearable existence. This comprehensive analysis bridges philosophy of religion with psychology and cultural critique, offering readers fresh insights into why humans turn to belief systems, creative expression, emotional bonds, and altered states to find meaning and relief from existential pain. The work contributes original arguments to ongoing philosophical debates about the sources of human meaning and the psychological foundations of religious practice.
