Inhaltsangabe

This book explores some of the disconcerting realities of fanaticism by analyzing its unique dynamics and considering how it can be confronted. Working at the intersections of epistemology, philosophy of emotions, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion, the contributors address a range of questions related to this fanaticism.
