Description

Explore the complex relationship between faith and authority in Religion and Power: No Logos without Mythos. Published by Routledge, this work by David Martin challenges modern perspectives on how religion and politics interact within society. Martin addresses the contentious debate regarding whether religion is inherently irrational compared to the perceived rationality of politics. By engaging with the arguments of Juergen Habermas, the author suggests that both religion and politics actually share a common mythic basis. This book provides a necessary counter-argument to the idea that politics is a purely rational sphere while religion is prone to violence or lacks logic. Furthermore, Martin offers a critique of the views held by Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists. He argues that the common approach taken by these thinkers is flawed, providing a different lens through which to view the role of belief in human systems. This text is an essential read for those studying anthropology, sociology, or the social sciences, offering a deep look into the fundamental structures that shape human belief and power.
