Publisher's Synopsis
""What Religion Is"" is a philosophical exploration of the nature and function of religion by British philosopher Bernard Bosanquet. Published in 1920, the book examines the various ways in which religion has been understood throughout history, and argues that religion plays a vital role in human life by providing a sense of meaning and purpose. Bosanquet also explores the relationship between religion and morality, and argues that religion is not simply a matter of belief in supernatural beings, but is rather a complex social and cultural phenomenon. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence, and continues to be widely read and discussed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
