The Sea of Faith

on BBC Two England

Don Cupitt , Dean of Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, explores the revolution in ideas that has brought humanity from the secure world-view of the Middle Ages to today's crisis of faith.
4: Prometheus Unbound
During the 1840s European thought was still reeling from the French Revolution.
In Paris the young Karl Marx believed that by rejecting religious authority man could realise his true nature. From Marx's office, refurnished for the series, Don Cupitt traces the origins of political atheism.
In Copenhagen, during the same years, the Christian philosopher
Soren Kierkegaard was struggling to respond to the rise of humanism with a new philosophy - existentialism.
