Summary
Richard Rorty, Gianni Vatimo: The Future of Religion
The text and conversation that make up this book sketch a map of faith without seeing and, most importantly, without imagining a metaphysical God. Rorty's text Anti-Clericalism and Atheism explains now, at the end of metaphysics, that being religious no longer means dependence on particularly observable phenomena that are considered intuitively obvious. Commenting in detail on Vatim's book Belief, Rorty observes that objective metaphysics has dissolved with the thought that identifies the truth of being with the manipulability of the object of science: the way for an anti-essentialist religion was finally open.
