in: , Secular spirituality, Berlin, Springer, 2015Abstract
A positive vision of what such a form of non-dogmatic rationality might entail is presented. This is distinguished from New Age or esoteric spirituality. Factors which contribute to the taboo against spirituality other than the distance between science and religion as previously analyzed are discussed. These include Nazism and Spirituality, and interpretations of esoteric spirituality. The presence and dangers of narcissism in spirituality are discussed in detail.
