- Title
A espiritualidade como ciência: crítica ao livro Despertar, de Sam Harris.
- Authors
Henrique Piovezane, Luís
- Abstract
From a discourse analysis of Sam Harris' book Waking Up (2015) and from the discussion of concepts such as "spirituality" and "religion", the author addresses the consequences of the ideas of New Atheism, mainly on the scientifically determined need to abandon religion. The ideas of Sam Harris are compared with the ideas of René Descartes and Hannah Arendt. In consequence of this, the author addresses the scientificity of the book Waking Up and the consequences of its ideas, which can be considered authoritarian under the filter of Hannah Arendt ideas. Thus, seeking examples where spirituality is scientifically treated, a broader dialogue between theological knowledge and scientific knowledge is proposed.
