Description

Peter Sloterdijk's After God explores the theological enlightenment of theology, tracing its development from ancient gods to modern artificial intelligence. This work delves into the metaphysical twilight of the gods and the emergence of psychoanalysis and neuro-cognitive sciences, which have secularized traditional concepts of the soul. The author examines how the distinction between God and idols may soon re-emerge in a technological and political register, making theological enlightenment a fateful task for modern citizens. This new work by a leading thinker will appeal to scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as those interested in religion, philosophy, and critical theory. After God offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of technology, politics, and theology, inviting readers to consider the implications of artificial intelligence on our understanding of the human condition.
