Sinopsis

Morality as a Religion explores a radical idea: the divine lives within each person. This edition examines how inner conscience and personal growth redefine ethics, spirituality, and the meaning of life.

From ancient mystics to Emerson, the text traces a thread that argues moral progress comes from within, not from external rites or fixed dogmas. It challenges common notions of death, heaven, and the afterlife, offering a human-centered vision of faith and virtue.


  • Clear case for seeing the self as a source of spiritual authority rather than an intermediary

  • Connections between philosophy, religion, and personal ethics across centuries

  • Discussion of how inner experience shapes moral growth and purpose

  • Historical perspectives on thinkers who influenced this view, from Eckhart to Emerson



Ideal for readers curious about alternative religious interpretations and the foundations of personal morality.

Excerpt from Morality as a Religion: An Exposition of Some First Principles

A recent work by M. Guyau was originally announced under the title of The non-religion of the Future, and, doubtless, an impression is generally prevalent that, with the modification or disappearance of traditional forms of Belief, the fate of Religion itself is involved.

Excerpt from Morality as a Religion: An Exposition of Some First Principles

A recent work by M. Guyau was originally announced under the title of The Non-Religion of the Future, and, doubtless, an impression is generally 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 man's 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."
