Spirit and the Obligation of Social Flesh A secular theology for the global city Sharon V. Betcher - U.S.A. Fordham University Press 2014 - 302tr. Paperback, illustrations 24cm
Drawing on philosophical reflection, spiritual and religious values, and somatic practice, Spirit and the Obligation of Social Flesh offers guidance for moving amidst the affective dynamics that animate the streets of the global cities now amassing around our planet. Betcher argues that for seculars today the possibility of a devoted life, the practice of felicity in history, still remains. Spirit now names a necessary ""prosthesis,"" a locus for regenerating the elemental commons of our interdependent flesh and thus for cultivating spacious and fearless empathy, forbearance, and generosity.
