SUMMARY:Ontological Gratitude and the Idea of a Secular Spirituality

DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: In his 2010 article\, &ldquo\;Secular Spirituality and the Logic of Giving Thanks&rdquo\;\, John Bishop takes his cue from a recent address by Richard Dawkins (that appears to suggest the appropriateness of a &ldquo\;naturalised spirituality&rdquo\; involving &ldquo\;existential gratitude&rdquo\;) to re-examine some aspects of Robert Solomon&rsquo\;s <em>Spirituality for the Skeptic</em> (2002). This paper picks up on Bishop&rsquo\;s engagements with both Dawkins and Solomon\, but introduces also Hannah Arendt&rsquo\;s notion of &ldquo\;primary natality&rdquo\; into the discussion. My claim is that any serious naturalistic spirituality needs to take into account not only a gratitude for one&rsquo\;s existence <em>per se</em>\, but for the whole context of individual and collective being</p>
