Content Language - English Category - PHILOSOPHY / Religious RELIGION / Philosophy Product Description - How Much Religion is Good for Us is a provocative book which examines parallels between play and religion from a philosophical, theological, and anthropological perspective. Understanding religion as a game in the context of secular culture, it explores the playful patterning of spiritual and religious belief in modern societies. Drawing on the Nietzschean concept of a dead but powerful God, the book depicts modern civilizations as players treading a secular age in which the spirit of religion unconsciously survives. It argues that the spirit of religion is preserved in cultures in the form of a spiritual game, distilling moral precepts and imperatives much like poetry and works of art do. Comparative in scope, it references Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Sufism, and Daoism. This interdisciplinary volume is an outstanding resource for students and scholars of Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, Cultural Studies, Philosophy, and Anthropology.
