A cosmology shaped by redemption and annihilation

This philosophical work brings religious thought, science, and atheism into a single speculative framework. Its account of the universe begins with a primordial divine self-destruction: existence becomes the fragmented remainder of that event, populated by individual beings driven, in the synopsis’s account, by a will toward death and ultimate annihilation. The book’s scope joins cosmology to questions about religious teaching and the foundations of an atheistic worldview. Its central tension lies in treating destruction not as a passing feature of life but as the organizing principle of existence and the horizon toward which it tends.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in religious philosophy and cosmology.
  • Those exploring philosophical accounts of atheism, Buddhism, or Christianity.
  • Readers seeking a sustained argument about death, existence, and annihilation.

Book overview

Philipp Mainländer set down in his Philosophy of Redemption an ambitious philosophical vision. He claimed not only to confirm the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity but also to reconcile religion with science and put atheism on a scientific foundation. All this he integrates with a cosmology that reads the universe as the emanation of a primordial event, which he construes as God's self-destruction. The universe is therefore the disintegrating relic of a divinity, a discordant unity of individual beings, egoistic manifestations of a will to death all striving for absolute annihilation. Mainländer's bleak but rapturous prognosis is here published in English for the first time.
