The Soul of the World
Summary
In The Soul of the World, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton defends the experience of the sacred against today’s fashionable forms of atheism. He argues that our personal relationships, moral intuitions, and aesthetic judgments hint at a transcendent dimension that cannot be understood through the lens of science alone. To be fully alive - and to understand what we are - is to acknowledge the reality of sacred things. Rather than an argument for the existence of God, or a defense of the truth of religion, the book is an extended reflection on why a sense of the sacred is essential to human life - and what the final loss of the sacred would mean. In short, the book addresses the most important question of modernity: What is left of our aspirations after science has delivered its verdict about what we are? Drawing on art, architecture, music, and literature, Scruton suggests that the highest forms of human experience and expression tell the story of our religious need, and of our quest for the being who might answer it, and that this search for the sacred endows the world with a soul. Evolution cannot explain our conception of the sacred; neuroscience is irrelevant to our interpersonal relationships, which provide a model for our posture toward God; and scientific understanding has nothing to say about the experience of beauty, which provides a God’s-eye perspective on reality. Ultimately, a world without the sacred would be a completely different world - one in which we humans are not truly at home. Yet despite the shrinking place for the sacred in today’s world, Scruton says, the paths to transcendence remain open.

Summary
Familie Hardcastle lädt zum Ball auf ihr Anwesen Blackheath. Alle Gäste amüsieren sich, bis ein fataler Pistolenschuss die Feier beendet. Evelyn Hardcastle, die Tochter des Hauses, ist tot. Einer der Gäste muss mehr über ihren Tod wissen, denn am selben Tag hat Aiden Bishop eine seltsame Nachricht erreicht: "Heute Abend wird jemand ermordet werden. Es wird nicht wie ein Mord aussehen, und man wird den Mörder daher nicht fassen. Bereinigen Sie dieses Unrecht, und ich zeige Ihnen den Weg hinaus." Tatsächlich wird Evelyn nicht nur ein Mal sterben. Bis der Mörder entlarvt ist, wiederholt sich der dramatische Tag in Endlosschleife. Doch damit nicht genug: Immer, wenn ein neuer Tag anbricht, erwacht Aiden im Körper eines anderen Gastes und muss das Geflecht aus Feind und Freund neu entwirren. Jemand will ihn mit allen Mitteln davon abhalten, Blackheath jemals wieder zu verlassen.
