The Uses of Paradox - Religion, Self-Transformation, and the Absurd - Matthew C. Bagger - Hardback Bog - Columbia University Press - 2007 - Engelsk -
Brand: Columbia University Press
Description
Investigates the role of paradox in Western and Asian religious discourse. Drawing on both philosophy and social scientific theory, this book offers a naturalistic explanation of religion's oft-noted propensity to sublime paradox and argues that religious thinkers employ intractable paradoxes as basis for various techniques of self-transformation.
