Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a most excellent book. It is well and simply written, it abounds in common-sense, and on its every page it reveals the genuine philosopher, none the less genuine because thoroughly imbued with religious sympathies. The aim of the volume is outlined by the author in his first pages. "I propose in the following pages to defend a view of the world which is frankly religious and theistic, in opposition to certain modern types of philosophical thought which are now widely prevalent. The results which I shall advocate do not therefore depart very far from the presuppositions which underlie the ordinary Christian consciousness, when these are interpreted not in a dogmatic, but in a broadly philosophical way." Professor Rogers has no sympathy with the attitude of the "disinterested spectator" in matters philosophical. It is not necessary to cease to be a man to become a philosopher. Indeed, "no man can philosophize rightly who has no personal concern in the common hopes and fears and ideals and beliefs of men, and the profession of this is either an affectation or a limitation." As is only natural and fitting the first chapter is reserved for a discussion of the Foundations of Knowledge, since the author is rightly desirous of a secure and intelligible basis for faith in religious ideals; and ere long he is in close quarters with a philosophy all too prevalent in the present day. Professor Rogers has no dealings with Pragmatism; he holds that there are a "good many things beyond our experience which we can only know mediately, and that between them and our knowledge of them there is a gulf fixed which can never be bridged completely in terms of immediate experiencing." His main contention is that the Pragmatist attitude fails to satisfy all our normal human demands, it rests too exclusively upon the scientific motive. For him one great human demand forms a starting-point, as important in its own way as the Cogito ergo sum of Descartes-it is the demand for the existence of other selves made by the social aspect of experience. With such a demand satisfied knowledge has " in some fashion or other the ability to reach out beyond the experience of which it is an immediate part," and one has avoided the "most fundamental and most fatal perversion of the moral life" by treating human beings as ends and not merely means. In the opinion of the author experience implies an unexplored and vast beyond, experience in itself is not all that reality means for us; there is therefore necessary a discussion concerning the Validity of Knowledge, and such is the subject of the second section of the book. Professor Rogers crosses swords with Herbert Spencer and all likeminded philosophers, who use the doctrine of " relativity of knowledge" to discredit the knowledge of absolute reality; and though it is difficult to use new weapons or new tactics in such a fray, he has much to say that is both pointed and illuminating. "No man is a sceptic in every direction ... the skeptic has no more business to universalize his own attitude than a child would have to demand that everybody should stop playing because he himself is tired." But granted that knowledge is possible, what is the test of a true opinion? The author has his answer ready-it is clearness, not in a Cartesian sense, but the clearness of " an articulated system in which all distinctions stand in sharp relief." To elucidate this and also to guard against misapprehension, he proceeds to a discussion of the relationship of feeling to rationality, and he claims the right of feeling to be reckoned a factor in the search for truth. For rationality is merely the impulse to harmonize experience, and a harmony won by ignoring any data is not worth winning.... -Review of Theology & Philosophy, Volume 3 [1908]

Download or read book The Concept of God the Origin of the World and the Image of the Human in the World Religions written by P. Koslowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All religions make statements about God or the Absolute and about "the beginning": about the beginning of the world and the beginning and nature of the human person. Propositions about God, the human person, and the world, statements about God's eternity or process of becoming, about the status and nature of the human person as the "image of God", and about the beginning of the world are woven into "religious speculations about the beginning". The theology, anthropology, and cosmology of the world religions determine the image of the human person and the image of the world in the world cultures shaped by the different religions. They stand in a tense relationship with the anthropologies and cosmologies of modern science, which in turn challenge the religions to deepen their image of the human person. With this volume leading thinkers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provide the reader with a first-hand source for understanding the five world religions and their teaching about God, the human person, and the origin of the world.

Download or read book Religions and Extraterrestrial Life written by David A. Weintraub and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-first century, the debate about life on other worlds is quickly changing from the realm of speculation to the domain of hard science. Within a few years, as a consequence of the rapid discovery by astronomers of planets around other stars, astronomers very likely will have discovered clear evidence of life beyond the Earth. Such a discovery of extraterrestrial life will change everything. Knowing the answer as to whether humanity has company in the universe will trigger one of the greatest intellectual revolutions in history, not the least of which will be a challenge for at least some terrestrial religions. Which religions will handle the discovery of extraterrestrial life with ease and which will struggle to assimilate this new knowledge about our place in the universe? Some religions as currently practiced appear to only be viable on Earth. Other religions could be practiced on distant worlds but nevertheless identify both Earth as a place and humankind as a species of singular spiritual religious importance, while some religions could be practiced equally well anywhere in the universe by any sentient beings. Weintraub guides readers on an invigorating tour of the world’s most widely practiced religions. It reveals what, if anything, each religion has to say about the possibility that extraterrestrial life exists and how, or if, a particular religion would work on other planets in distant parts of the universe.
Download or read book Comparative Religion written by Carla Mooney and published by Nomad Press. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 7 billion people live on the earth, and 84 percent of them describe themselves as being religious. Few topics incite such passion as religion. What does that mean? Why are humans invested in ideas that may never be proved? Why has religion played such an important role in history? In Comparative Religion: Investigate the World through Religious Tradition, readers seek answers to these questions by comparing and contrasting the cultural, spiritual, and geographical underpinnings of five different religions. By developing a better understanding of the similarities and differences among religions of the world, readers gain a strong foothold in a dialogue that has continued for thousands of years. Combining hands-on activities with theology, history, geography, world cultures, art, and architecture, Comparative Religions encourages deeper understanding of the world’s religions. Entertaining graphic art, fascinating sidebars, and links to primary sources bring the topic to life, while key questions reaffirm foundational concepts. Activities include conducting an interview with a rabbi, comparing the story of Abraham and Isaac in three sacred texts, studying the architecture of the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, studying the Hindu practice of yoga and meditation, and examining how religious doctrines shape the behavior of believers.
