Philosophical Myths of the Fall

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and theology, this work examines the perspectives of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein on the concept of original sin. It questions whether these philosophers merely critique the idea of humanity's inherent flaws or inadvertently create secular interpretations of the same myth. Mulhall delves into their ethical and religious dimensions, revealing the complexities and implications of their thoughts in the post-Enlightenment context.
