Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[
Image's essays] exemplify what philosophy of religion can do. They demonstrate that philosophy of religion means something different now. It is not, or no longer, an insular, abstracted subspecialty. What we call philosophy of religion is, now, away of engagement: with the material realities we inhabit, with pressing questions we have about them, and with possible futures they—and so we—might live into." * Journal of Religion *
“
Image is a gorgeous volume of ideas from three of the most significant philosophers of religion and culture. Deep fakes. Love and death. Sun Ra and the absurdity of Silicon Valley futurists—all come together in a way that is accessible and unexpected. This will be essential reading for years to come.” -- John Lardas Modern, author of Neuromatic; or, A Particular History of Religion and the Brain
“In
Image, three distinguished scholars draw inspiration from a host of innovative thinkers to address our contemporary preoccupation with what can only be called the ‘posthuman.’ It is a small masterpiece. Specialists in religion, philosophy, technology studies, feminist studies, aesthetics, and phenomenology will delight in this book.” -- Nancy K. Frankenberry, John Phillips Professor in Religion Emerita, Dartmouth College
"In this coauthored book, Taylor, Rubenstein, and Carlson deliver richly conceived interpretations of images in modern cultural history... The book combines a sophisticated understanding of specific cases and historical events with analyses of timeless questions that will surely haunt and inspire the human imagination for generations to come... Highly recommended."
