The Philosophy of Redemption
The Philosophy of Redemption by Philipp MainlÀnder presents an ambitious philosophical vision. MainlÀnder claims not only to confirm the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity, but also to reconcile religion with science and to place atheism on a scientific foundation. He integrates all of this with a cosmology that interprets the universe as the emanation of a primordial event, which he sees as God's self-destruction.
The universe is therefore the disintegrating relic of a divinity, a discordant unity of individual beings, egoistic manifestations of a will to death, all striving for absolute annihilation. MainlÀnder's bleak but rapturous prognosis is published here in English for the first time.
This translation of the first volume does not include the appendix.
