How does a close examination of key spiritual thinkers help us to live in the modern world?  And in what way does philosophy enhance spirituality?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Richard White answers these questions by analysing a range of important philosophers, from Schopenhauer in the first half of the 19th century to Irigaray in the present day. Each chapter examines the work of a single writer and one closely associated theme, such as Nietzsche on generosity, Benjamin on wisdom, and Derrida on mourning. The author looks at philosophy and spirituality in the tradition of continental philosophy, and he views spirituality as something that can be separated from religion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the rise of reductive scientific materialism becoming ever more prevalent in modern society, White seeks to recover the idea of a spiritual tradition which is not otherworldly but philosophical in nature. The thinkers discussed in this book articulate some of the deepest possibilities of human existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpiritual Philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e offers an approach to philosophy as a spiritual practice, which the author sees as an integral part of our life. As a pioneering work in an emerging field – \u003ci\u003ethe philosophy of spirituality\u003c\/i\u003e -- this book contributes to several key debates surrounding spirituality, theology and the role of philosophy in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRichard White\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Philosophy at Creighton University in Omaha, USA.
