3.0 out of 5 starshe gets other things wrong too
By Mr. D. P. Jay on 22 April 2015
Format: Paperback
This is a much better book than the others by Cupitt and constitutes a different look at the question 'What is man?' by tracing movements of thought to the present day and is, as such, a good complement to James Burke's TV series 'The Day that the Universe Changed'. His overriding thesis is that all thought is societally conditions. We are what we construct ourselves, mentally, to be. In the end, it is very Cartesian.

His first section deals with the natural sciences and he contrasts the world of the Eighteenth Century where everything was fixed and ordered and in which theology pictured an ordered, hierarchical world, with the Darwinianism of the Nineteenth Century in which progress was the name of the game. The liberal theologians harnessed the idea of progress and developed a teleological world view in which God is calling mankind to work for the kingdom of God on earth. Hence the offshoot of Marxism and of millenarian movements. I suppose I belong in this frame of thought but Cupitt dismisses this, arguing that Darwinism sees evolution as a process which has no moral content. Survival is of the fittest, the strongest, and thus Nietsche and Nazism (despite Cupitt's disavowal of their connection) is a more logical outcome.

Next he turns to psychology and looks at developments of thought therein. Freud's view of society as keeping at bay the rampant desires of the id and of religion as a pathology is one thing. Surely there is some truth in that. He then goes on to look at Jung and suggests that the various myth which Jung identified in human thought are in fact societally produced.Read more ›
