The fantasy of consumer capitalism consists of endless promises of wholeness and completeness and all manner of suggestions as to how we might get from A to B. To combat this form of capitalism, Peter Rollins proposes a form of psychoanalytic belief - a pyrotheology - in which we can avoid the ideological drive to move from A to B and the promise of completeness and instead learn to stay at A, be in the present and accept the nothingness that brings us together.
Peter Rollins is an author, philosopher, storyteller, producer and public speaker who has gained an international reputation for overturning traditional notions of religion and forming “churches” that preach the Good News that we can’t be satisfied, that life is difficult, and that we don’t know the secret.
