Abstract

This book is a statement of confession to the human beings that we are. We do not have to spiritualise ourselves into pure reason or move to heaven as spiritual beings in order to be truly human. Metaphysics and religion have fulfilled their mission to satisfy our basic need to exceed reality. It is no longer the art of thinking and the art of believing that dominate the artistic self-creation of the human being, but the art of sharing life successfully. In combination with illuminating, but not disenchanting, enlightenment, the author applies a new method in this context: enlightening transfiguration. This makes it possible for him to fully interpret the happiness that we owe to the evolution of life.
