• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the religious category of dying to self, this book aims to resolve contemporary issues that relate to detachment. Kellenberger explores the key issues that arise for detachment, including the place of the individual's will in detachment, the relationship of detachment to desire, to attachment to persons, and to self-love and self-respect, and issues of contemporary secular detachment such as inducement via chemicals. This book heeds the relevance of the religious virtue of detachment for those living in the twenty-first-century.

Autorenporträt

James Kellenberger has published several books in Religion/Philosophy of Religion addressing concerns with religious knowledge and religious plurality, as well as many articles on these and related religious subjects. From 1967 to 2008 he taught Philosophy at California State University, Northridge. In 2008 he became emeritus. His current concern with religious detachment goes beyond but also grows out of these previous concerns.
