Beschreibung
In the course of the 20th century a new worldview, a new Zeitgeist has
arisen in Western society and culture that is defined in this book as
„immanent mysticism“. Several major philosophers are sensitive to such a
sense of immanent mysticism. The same sensitivity is noticeable in the
works of poets, painters and other artists. It expresses the desire for
transforming the way to meaningful living. The book shows that theological
research programmes are innovated by insights from aesthetics and studies
of spirituality. The research in this book indicates that contemporary
Western culture requires a reframing of foundational theology. The book
describes the areas in which such an account is called for.
