Publisher's Synopsis
The Truth of Religion, written by Rudolf Eucken and first published in 1911, is a philosophical exploration of the nature of religion and its relationship to human experience. Eucken, a German philosopher and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1908, argues that religion is not simply a matter of belief or ritual, but rather a fundamental aspect of human consciousness that shapes our understanding of the world and our place within it.Drawing on a wide range of religious traditions and philosophical perspectives, Eucken explores the nature of religious experience, the role of religion in human history, and the challenges facing modern religion in an age of scientific and technological progress. He argues that while religion must evolve and adapt to changing circumstances, it remains an essential part of human life and a source of profound meaning and purpose.Throughout the book, Eucken emphasizes the importance of personal spiritual experience, arguing that true religion is not a matter of dogma or doctrine, but rather a lived experience of the divine. He also explores the relationship between religion and ethics, arguing that a deep and authentic religious experience can lead to a heightened sense of moral responsibility and a commitment to social justice.Overall, The Truth of Religion is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of the nature of religion and its role in human life. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, religion, and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
