Discussing the decline of faith and the rise of love in the modern era, Colby Dickinson proposes a critique of religious belief which addresses how a secular world can continue to mine religious traditions for their conceptual and emotional riches. Atheism and Love in the Modern Era argues that theism and atheism taken together can peel back the layers of abstraction, alienation, and disillusionment that always accompany our humanity in order to help us really see how it is to exist in this world. To illuminate this vision, Dickinson takes up the notion of love as a cultivation and practice of indifference, as a letting go of one's identity-a crucial concept that unites both religion and atheism through a concerted effort to detach from them both. In dialogue with a variety of thinkers, including iek, Agamben, Derrida, Irigaray, Fromm, and Taylor, this is essential reading for those interested in popular debates around theism and atheism, as well as those concerned with the ways in which continental and analytic philosophy have addressed the continued significance of religious traditions.
