Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of religions, their historical backdrop, and their continuing relevance to contemporary spirituality. The author argues that, in stark contrast to the prevailing scientism of the 19th and early 20th centuries, religions and spirituality are far from anachronistic; they have an important place in the quest for a meaningful life. The book presents religions as a set of ideas and practices that have emerged over the centuries to help individuals and communities navigate the complexities of life. It examines the inner personal experience of religion, arguing that the human desire to contrast the self from the world has been a primary driver in the construction of religious systems. The book draws on the author's unique expertise to trace the development of religions from their primitive origins to their modern expressions, arguing that religious insights are a type of mental energy that can be harnessed to help us make sense of our place in the universe.
