Excerpt from Views of Religion
Lowell
Whatever we have dared to think,
That dare we also say.
Hooker
Independence of mind, freedom from a slavish respect to the taste and opinion of others, next to goodness of heart, will best ensure our happiness in the conduct of life.
Carlyle
A man's honest, earnest opinion is the most precious of all he possesses: let him communicate this if he is to communicate anything.
Higginson
Above all thought rises the freedom to think: above all utterance ranks the liberty to utter.
Euripides
Who dares not speak his free thought is a slave.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of the relationship between religion and morality. It challenges the traditional assumption that goodness and right conduct are dependent on religious belief, instead arguing that ethics have a scientific basis and are accessible to all, regardless of faith. The author draws upon the thoughts and experiences of a diverse group of historical figures ââ â including philosophers, statesmen, and even monarchs ââ â to illustrate how many individuals of exceptional character and intellect have either rejected religion entirely or held skeptical views. The book examines how religion has been used historically as a tool of control and oppression, highlighting the dangers of blind faith and the importance of critical thinking. The book delves into a multitude of themes related to the nature of truth, the role of reason in shaping moral principles, and the potential for human beings to find happiness and success without adhering to religious dogma. Ultimately, it offers a powerful argument for the independence of morality from religious belief and the inherent value of human reason in navigating life's complexities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331980339_0
