The Philosophy of Lack sought to re-engage ancient philosophical principles from the perspective of lack (e.g. being, atomism, forms, discourse). In this discussion we seek open investigation on lack from a religious perspective. Perhaps the most infamous reference point here is Nietzsche’s “God is Dead”, which is often used to signal the formal nihilistic deconstruction of religious authority and structure in the modern world; but also to issue a challenge to future humans to think about what it means to live in a universe without transcendental guarantee. Lack can help us think about this reference point insofar as Nietzsche seems to offer us an abyssal confrontation with our own lack (i.e. that we are not — yet — the Overmen); and that confronting this lack involves accepting considerable pain, anguish, sadness, trauma, loss, — of any possibility of safety, security, comfort, or said otherwise: transcendental guarantee qua “happy ending”. In this context, what does it really mean to think about religion today? Do we need to return to traditional religions (regardless of denomination)? Do we need a religion that is not a religion? Do we need to think something totally other? And what does it feel like to really be in this lack, and to really feel this loss (of world, of future, of self).
