Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical conflict between the philosophy of the natural and that of the supernatural. The author makes a case for cosmology, or the study of the universe and its natural processes, as being the fundamental discipline that can explain human existence and its problems. In contrast, the book argues that sacerdotalism, with its focus on supernatural beings and principles, has failed to provide satisfactory answers and has instead led to conflict and intolerance. The author draws on ancient and modern sources to illustrate the power struggles between these two opposing philosophies. From the persecution of Jesus of Nazareth by the Jewish priests to the ongoing clash between science and religion in the present day, the book highlights the ways in which the denial of absolute supernatural knowledge has been met with resistance and suppression. Ultimately, the book seeks to reclaim the study of the natural world as the true path to understanding ourselves and our place in the cosmos. By rejecting the artificial separation between physical and spiritual realms, the author argues, we can move towards a more rational and tolerant society.
