Homebrewed Christianity

CHAPTER

Existentialism and American Politics

This chapter examines the intersection of existentialist thought, particularly through Paul Tillich, and the political landscape of the United States since the Reagan era. It critiques the conservative interpretations of Hegel's philosophy, challenging the belief that democracy and capitalism inherently foster freedom. By exploring historical and contemporary implications, the chapter highlights the need for authentic faith and a reevaluation of societal norms in light of cultural anxieties and existential fears.
