Sinopsis

""Morality As A Religion: An Exposition Of Some First Principles"" is a book written by W. R. Washington Sullivan, which explores the concept of morality as a religion. The book delves into the idea that morality and religion are not separate entities, but rather intertwined. Sullivan argues that morality is not only a set of rules and principles that guide human behavior, but also a spiritual force that shapes our beliefs and values.The book begins by examining the foundations of morality, including the role of reason, intuition, and emotion in shaping our moral beliefs. Sullivan then explores the relationship between morality and religion, arguing that both are essential components of human life. He contends that morality provides a framework for living a meaningful life, while religion offers a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than oneself.Throughout the book, Sullivan draws upon a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, to illustrate his points. He also provides practical advice on how to live a moral life, emphasizing the importance of compassion, empathy, and self-reflection.Overall, ""Morality As A Religion: An Exposition Of Some First Principles"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between morality and religion. It offers a fresh perspective on these important topics and provides readers with a deeper understanding of what it means to live a moral and meaningful life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Guyau was originally announced under the title of The Non-R eligion of the Future, and, doubtless, an impression isgenerally prevalent that, with the modification or disappearance of traditional forms of Belief, the fate of Religion itself is involved. The present volume is a plea for a reconsideration of the Religious question, and an inquiry as to the possibility of reconstructing Religion by shifting its basis from inscrutable dogmas to the unquestionable facts of mans moral nature. It is now some fifty years since Emerson wrote that the progress of Religion is steadily towards its identification with Morals, and foretold a new Church founded on Moral Science .. .the Church of men to come .
