Meer over het boek

The book explores the tension between premodern beliefs in the sacred and modern reliance on science, proposing the need for a secular sacred. Steinvorth examines modern philosophers who argue for an absolute norm of rationality and authenticity. He reinterprets this norm as metaphysical rather than moral, suggesting that authenticity should be viewed as engaging in actions for their intrinsic value rather than mere self-realization. This analysis invites a deeper understanding of modern values and their philosophical foundations.
