Description
This Element investigates the philosophical landscape of semi-secular worldviews that maintain belief in something transcendent while rejecting traditional religious frameworks. The authors explore how contemporary secular individuals and societies navigate the tension between scientific rationalism and spiritual conviction.
The book addresses fundamental questions about the nature of transcendence, meaning-making, and spiritual experience outside conventional religious institutions. It examines various philosophical approaches to reconciling secular epistemology with metaphysical or spiritual commitments, including naturalism, pantheism, and non-theistic spirituality.
Through rigorous philosophical analysis, Palmqvist and Jonbäck demonstrate how semi-secular belief systems represent a significant intellectual and cultural phenomenon. The work contributes to understanding how modern individuals construct meaningful worldviews that incorporate both scientific understanding and transcendent dimensions, challenging traditional dichotomies between secular and religious thought.
