Inventing God

Taylor & Francis

In this controversial book, philosopher and psychoanalyst Jon Mills argues that God does not exist; and more provocatively, that God cannot exist as anything but an idea. Put concisely, God is a psychological creation signifying ultimate ideality. Mills argues that the idea or conception of God is the manifestation of humanity\u2019s denial and response to natural deprivation; a self-relation to an internalized idealized object, the idealization of imagined value.
