Object Spirituality: Speculative Realism, Modernity, and the Reimagining of Spirituality

du Toit, Calvyn Clarence

Object Spirituality critically examines the implications of the emerging philosophical movement of Speculative Realism for the study of spirituality and theology. This work challenges the traditional theo-centric and anthropocentric models of spirituality—viewed respectively as pre-modern and post-modern—and argues for a shift toward an object-oriented approach. By constraining spirituality to a quantitative, object-focused framework, this book redefines the relationship between humans, objects, and the divine, proposing a new way to understand spiritual experience in the context of contemporary philosophical thought. This text offers a provocative and timely contribution to the fields of spirituality and theology.
