Abstract: \;The talk distinguishes three main directions in the philosophical criticism of religion and \;exemplifies them by the critique of religion contained in Schopenhauer&rsquo\;s Dialogue on religion: the inherent inability of religions to reveal the mythical nature of the objects of religious worship\; the authoritarian nature of observing religious prescriptions\; the allegation that religion produces more evil than good. On the last point\, however\, Schopenhauer is ambivalent: religion\, to him\, is the &ldquo\;philosophy of the masses&rdquo\; containing more than a grain of truth but in a form adapted to their seemingly limited intellectual capacities.
Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!
