Sinopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Science of Religion: Four Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution, in February and May, 1870
These Lectures, intended as an introduction to a comparative study of the principal religions of the world, were delivered at the Royal Institution in London, in February and March 1870, and printed in Fraser's Magazine of February, March, April, and May of the same year. I declined at that time to publish them in a separate form, hoping that I might find leisure to work up more fully the materials which I had collected for many years. I thought that I should thus be enabled to make these lectures more instructive and more complete, and at the same time meet several objections that had been raised by some critics against the very possibility of a scientific study of religions, and against the views which I ventured to put forward on the origin, the growth, and the real value of the ancient systems of faith, elaborated by different branches of the human race. A small edition only of these lectures was printed privately, and sent to some of my friends, whose remarks have proved in many cases most valuable and instructive.
If now I have decided on republishing these Lec tures, I have done so because I fear that as during the three years that have elapsed since their delivery.

FIRST LECTURE. DELIVERED AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION, FEBRUARY 19, 1870. X^7"HEN I undertook for the first time to deliver a course of lectures in this Institution, I chose for my subject the Science of Language. What I then had at heart was to show to you, and to the world at large, that the comparative study of the principal languages of mankind was based on sound and scientific principles, and that it had brought, to light results which deserved a larger share of public interest than they had as yet received. I tried to convince not only scholars by profession, but historians, theologians, and philosophers, nay everybody who had once felt the charm of gazing inwardly upon the secret workings of his own mind, veiled and revealed as they are in the flowing folds of language,

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of lectures initially delivered at the Royal Institution in 1870, delving into the concept of a science of religion. The author argues that while the study of comparative linguistics has achieved great strides using scientific principles, the same approach can and should be applied to the study of religions. The author sets out to prove a science of religion is not only possible but essential to obtaining a clearer understanding of the origins and development of religious beliefs and practices. The author delves into the etymology of words like 'religion' and 'faith', defining them not just as belief systems but also positing 'faith' as an inherent human faculty, and places the study of religion within its philosophical and historical contexts. The book discusses the benefits and challenges of a comparative approach to religion, addressing fears that such an approach undermines the sanctity of any particular religious tradition, and emphasizes that a scientific study of religion need not detract from reverence for an individual's personal beliefs or practices. The author argues that the insights gained from a comparative study of religions are significant and can potentially lead to greater tolerance, understanding, and appreciation of divergent belief systems. 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: 9781451003604_0
