O knihe

Can reason and religion co-exist? Can you be truly skeptical and still spiritual? The surprising answer presented in this concise book of philosophy is that true skepticism, applied in its most rigid and unyielding form, leads us not to science, but to spirituality.

Many of us today feel a yearning for spirituality. Many more feel an emptiness, lack of purpose or dissatisfaction with life which in previous eras would have been filled by religion. But yet we cannot fill this need. We have been raised in the age of science, taught to be skeptical, conditioned not to simply believe but to verify. What's more, the plethora of different religions and spiritual paths available in our modern, multicultural, and globally connected world, serves only to reinforce this alienation: for with each one seeming to contradict the others, what reason is there to choose any particular over the others?

For some, this leaves them adrift with no path to follow at all. Others flit from one tradition to the next, constantly searching but never finding the certainty which would tie them to one particular path and allow them to truly, deeply connect with it.

'Reason as Religion' was written for these people. In it the author clearly shows how skepticism is not only compatible with spirituality, but can actually form the very foundation upon which spirituality is built.
