Beyond Man
Beyond Man reimagines the meaning and potential of a philosophy of religion that better attends to the inextricable links among religion, racism, and colonialism. An Yountae, Eleanor Craig, and the contributors reckon with the colonial and racial implications of the field's history by staging a conversation with Black, Indigenous, and decolonial studies. In their introduction, An and Craig point out that European-descended Christianity has historically defined itself by its relation to the other while paradoxically claiming to represent and speak to humanity in its totality. The topics include secularism, the Eucharist's relation to Blackness, and sixteenth-century Brazilian cannibalism rituals as well as an analysis of how Mircea Eliade's conception of the sacred underwrites settler colonial projects and imaginaries. Throughout, the contributors also highlight the theorizing of Afro-Caribbean thinkers such as Sylvia Wynter, C. L. R. James, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire whose work disrupts the normative Western categories of religion and philosophy. Contributors. An Yountae, Ellen Armour, J. Kameron Carter, Eleanor Craig, Amy Hollywood, Vincent Lloyd, Filipe Maia, Mayra Rivera, Devin Singh, Joseph R. Winters

Beyond Man-Made Religion
We live in troubled times, a dangerous and destabilized world that has coarsened our sensibilities and constrained our capacities for goodness. The world presents a baffling problem. It questions the history of people, places, and cultures with the idea of creating wedges between faiths. All the world’s religions teach love, compassion, and forgiveness, yet, unprovoked and unimaginable violence is being perpetrated in the name of the faith by self-proclaimed rabbis who may be, in several cases, the master disruptors of civilization. Despite being detractors, their sacred ideals and robes adorn their religious proclamations and remain firmly embedded in our universal holy consciousness. Those who do not subscribe to organized religion also now see scriptures as a candlelight in their personal and professional lives. The philosophical outlook underpins our everyday attitudes. The only lasting solution will be to liberate society from man-made religion and return to the pristine message of the scriptures. These scriptures had a simple, straightforward, and plain-speaking message for all humanity, which got distorted at the hands of the modern tools of intellectual sophistry and sterile polemics. We need to sanitize not just our bodies and our environment but also our minds and intellect. The religious idea that there is a universal moral law which is the central axis of all strands of religious and spiritual thought and is an essence of all philosophical thought This book explores the diverse contours of philosophical thought and shapes them into a coherent trajectory.
