{"title":"Marcel Gauchet","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"depois-da-religiao","title":"After religion","description":"Are we experiencing the \"death of God,\" noted by Nietzsche over a century ago, or, on the contrary, the return of religion? The question never ceases to arise. On the one hand, churches and dogmas are weakening in favor of more personal, \"à la carte\" beliefs, some say. On the other, fundamentalisms and other fundamentalisms of all kinds have never behaved so well. How can we situate ourselves between such contradictory trends? In *After Religion*, a debate never before published in book form, philosophers Luc Ferry—author of the essential *The God-Man* and *What Is a Successful Life*—and Marcel Gauchet clarify our perplexity and disagreement through a thorough discussion, free from polemics and compromises. For Luc Ferry, the contemporary era is characterized by the intersection of two processes: on the one hand, what he calls the \"humanization of the divine,\" that is, the fact that all modern cultural history consists of the translation of the theoretical and practical contents of religion into the language of humanism, or, in other words, with the individual placed as a cardinal value. On the other hand, the \"divinization of the human,\" that is, the fact that at the heart of this autonomous individualism—the condition of modern man—re-emerges transcendence that is no longer vertical (between men and the beyond), but horizontal (between men themselves). It is this dual process that would make contemporary humanism a humanism of the human-God. Marcel Gauchet, for his part, persists in the idea that we live in an age of an ever-widening separation between man and God. It is this separation that has now reached its maximum amplitude, such that contemporary humanism, which should be conceived or invented in our time, would not be that of the God-man, but, on the contrary, that of the man without God and of the man definitively and irrevocably without God. How should we think about the religious phenomenon after the departure of religion? Is it necessary to see at the heart of the secular age a persistence of the sacred? Is the world destined for disenchantment or promised re-enchantment? From these questions, Ferry and Gauchet initiate a fruitful debate and contribute their ideas to one of the most controversial discussions of this beginning of the century.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176267890940,"sku":"9788574320823","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/43675b7961838a5dcd6f07909600bbe1_a3da3883-f74d-4bcf-b139-0876eee7d4cc.jpg?v=1778322000"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/marcel-gauchet.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
