Abraham's Ashes: The Absurdity of Monotheism
ISBN: 9780761859659 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "Abrahamic religion" has long been a buzzword in ecumenical discourse. It is the notion that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, despite their profound differences, are united in their reverence for Abraham--not just as the progenitor of Israel, but as a universal father in the faith. Abraham's Ashes offers a forceful critique of the biblical and Qur'anic views of Abraham, showing how at the heart of all prophetic religions lies an untenable myth of suprarational magical thinking about "revelation." This myth involves communiques to a privileged male from a mysterious patriarchal God who...

Good God! (and Other Follies): Essays on Religion
ISBN: 9780761836032 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Good God! (And Other Follies) takes a critical and satirical look at the wave of religiosity now sweeping the country. From faith-based initiatives to bans on stem cell research, from public postings of the Ten Commandments to attacks on evolution, American godliness has apparently never had it so good. Much of this behavior and even more of the God-talk accompanying it, whether fueled by passionate faith, cultural resentment, or political opportunism, is intellectually absurd. This book points out this absurdity and explores the underlying fallacies, contradictions and, at times, sheer...

God: An Obituary
ISBN: 9780761847120 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) God: An Obituary is a satirical-analytical view of monotheism in our time. Building on the work of both the great traditional unbelievers--Hume, Mill, Nietzsche, and Freud, among others--and contemporary critics--Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Ibn Warraq, etc.--Heinegg exposes the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In a series of thematic reflections, the author remarks on the absurdity of continuing to worship a being whose existence is attested to almost exclusively by the ravings of hallucinatory "prophets," and whose track record was and is marked by...

Crazy Culture: The Sins of Civilization
ISBN: 9780761856832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Crazy Culture is a series of broadsides against many widely held misconceptions in both academe and the general public, who is often seen clustering under the politically correct banner of multiculturalism. Heinegg confronts the notion that all culture--especially that of non-westerners and oppressed minorities--is somehow good in itself and that outsiders have no right to criticize or condemn any cultures except their own. He also challenges the view that the term "culture" applies primarily to a handful of masterpieces, as opposed to the great bulk of artistic products and folkways, and...

Airy Nothings: Religion and the Flight from Time
ISBN: 9780761862529 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Even as the number of unbelievers continues to rise, religion in America still gets unwarrantably good press. The tenets and teachings, however nonsensical, of each and every "community of faith" may not be attacked. Secular academics who would never be caught in a synagogue, church, or mosque seldom fail to manifest politically correct reverence for the creeds, codes, and cults of the religious. Unfortunately, the central religious concept of the "sacred" proves, upon closer inspection, to be fictitious. The understandably popular "holy" times, places, deities, peoples, books, laws, and...

Oh, Wait-Now I Get It: Essays in Popular Philosophy
ISBN: 9780761839521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Like war and politics, philosophy is too important to be left to professionals. Oh Wait--Now I Get It illustrates this basic truth by tackling a broad spectrum of issues, which include: history, religion, government, sex, family, and death. In fact, the entire contemporary cultural scene from the perspective of a thoughtful amateur philosopher is brought forth within this book. Recalling Neitzsche's dictum that all philosophy is also confession, Professor Peter Heinegg begins with some autobiographical pieces on his background, which include seven years in Jesuit seminaries and doctoral...

Better than Both: The Case for Pessimism
ISBN: 9780761833123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Better Than Both: The Case for Pessimism is an experiment in "popular philosophy." It presents and discusses (literally) life-and-death issues in non-technical, everyday language. This new work sees pessimism not as a kind of depressed moodiness or self-indulgent negativity, but as the inevitable result of any fair-minded survey of the world we actually live in. It reaches this conclusion by looking into basic human psychology, the record of history, the experience of aging and death, the failure of religion, and many features of both ancient and modern culture. Acknowledging the truth of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) That Does It: Desperate Reflections on American Culture is an enfilade of critical attacks on the absurdities, stupidities, and crimes of present-day American life. It's targets are dumb-but-dangerous politicians, infantile-but-invasive preachers, saccharine-but-poisonous cliches, mindless entertainment, spineless media, and a national lifestyle marked by manic consumption and extravagant wastefulness, narcissistic complacency, pseudo-patriotism, and the idiotic worship of more idols than you could throw a verbal IED at. The book provides a handy checklist of ills, from the life threatening...

Dim and Dimmer: Prospects for a New Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780761864165 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In today's world, we are witnessing both the spread of a hopeful secular humanism and the persistence of cultural traditions that mindlessly glorify humans and are paving the path to environmental collapse. Peter Heinegg addresses how we are now on a collision course heading toward ecological catastrophe--the one solution to this being a true "agonizing reappraisal" of who we are and how we do things. In Dim and Dimmer, Peter Heinegg tackles the question: "Can the 'New Enlightenment' already dawning save the day?"

ISBN: 9781591020424 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The inevitability and finality of death have prompted some of the world's most poignant and memorable literature, from the Epic of Gilgamesh of ancient Babylon to the works of contemporary poets and novelists. The conviction that death means everlasting extinction, with no possibility of an afterlife, is described by Peter Heinegg as "mortalism." In this unique anthology he has collected more than fifty selections of poetry and prose that reflect this view.
Contrary to what one might expect, mortalism does not invariably lead to pessimism, despair, or the sense that life is absurd.... The inevitability and finality of death have prompted some of the world's most poignant and memorable literature, from the Epic of Gilgamesh of ancien...
