Book Summary
Progressive, modern societies hold the promise of the triumph ofreason and the
banishing of primitive, religious impulses to abygone age. If this statement is
orthodoxy to much of Westernliberal thought, then Gordon Lynch's On the Sacred
is heresy.Challenging the myth of the idealized rational society, Lynchargues
that emotionally-charged forms of the sacred remain aninevitable foundation of
social life. Modernity has not rid us ofthe sacred, but merely presented us with
new sacred forms focusedaround humanity, nature and the nation. Drawing on
examples fromthe changing status of the British monarchy, the growing
influenceof humanitarian NGOs and moral justifications for the invasion ofIraq,
On the Sacred presents a compelling account
