So many people in our age are on a quest, one might say, to understand and then change their lives in the light of some horizon of transformation. And these horizons are multiple, and beyond that, they are diversifying, as new variants come to be conceived and aimed at. Some draw on more than one religious tradition, others combine the resources of certain religions with an atheist humanism, and so on.

This centrality of the ethical goes back to Immanuel Kant, whose religious beliefs—freedom, the existence of God, and immortality—were seen as “postulates of practical reason”; that is, conditions under which alone moral obligation makes sense. In a very different fashion, and with results that would have puzzled—even horrified—Kant, many of our contemporaries are mining the same terrain.
