Philosophize This!

CHAPTER

The Problem Is Having Too Much Faith in the Premises of Modernity

If you do not believe in a literal, supernatural God that has commands that we should be building our societies around, give yourself a point. If you think we're living in a fundamentally new kind of society in modernity, one that's distinct from those pre-modern societies where the people projected their humanity onto the natural world around them. Do you believe that these two things belong in their own separate realms of expertise? Give yourself a point if the answer is yes. You score more than four points on this list, and congratulations, you are a product of modern thought.
