Discussing the decline of faith and therise of love in the modern era, ColbyDickinson proposes a critique of religiousbelief which addresses how a secularworld can continue to mine religioustraditions for their conceptual andemotional riches. Atheism and Love inthe Modern Era argues that theism andatheism taken together can peel backthe layers of abstraction, alienation, anddisillusionment that always accompanyour humanity in order to help us reallysee how it is to exist in this world. Toilluminate this vision, Dickinson takes upthe notion of love as a cultivation andpractice of indifference, as a letting goof one’s identity-a crucial concept thatunites both religion and atheism througha concerted effort to detach fromthem both.In dialogue with a variety of thinkers,including Žižek, Agamben, Derrida,Irigaray, Fromm, and Taylor, this isessential reading for those interestedin popular debates around theism andatheism, as well as those concerned withthe ways in which continental and analyticphilosophy have addressed the continuedsignificance of religious traditions.
