Modern societies rely on fallible science. Do they also need something absolute, a secular sacred? Steinvorth analyzes the writings of modern philosophers who claim that there is an absolute norm: the norm to be rational and authentic. In his view, their claim is true if it is reinterpreted. The norm is not moral, as it was thought to be, but metaphysical, and authenticity is not self-realization, but doing things for their own sake. In discussing the pros and cons of philosophical claims on absolutes, this book spreads out the rich pool of philosophical ideas and clarifies urgent contemporary questions about what can be demanded with universal validity. It argues this is not only the principle of justice, not to harm, but also a metaphysical principle by which to find meaning in life. Moreover, it points to some consequences this principle has in politics. 606 $aContinental Philosophy 606 $aIntellectual life?History 606 $aContinental Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E47000 606 $aIntellectual Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000 615 0$aContinental Philosophy. 615 0$aIntellectual life?History. 615 14$aContinental Philosophy. 615 24$aIntellectual Studies. 676 $a110 676 $a901 700 $aSteinvorth$b Ulrich$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0152105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373940003321 996 $aA Secular Absolute$92032292 997 $aUNINA
