Opis

David Tacey presents a unique psychological study of the postsecular, adding a Jungian perspective to a debate shaped by sociology, philosophy and religious studies. He looks at the unexpected return of the sacred in Western societies, and how the sacred is changing our understanding of humanity and culture.

Recenzje

"The issues with which this book deals have been attracting increased interest for several decades, and this seems set to continue for the foreseeable future.　The question of the place of the sacred in predominantly secular cultures is unlikely to be resolved one way or the other anytime soon." – Roderick Main, University of Essex, UK; author, The Rupture of Time
