The Religion of Man An Inquiry into the Essence of Religion and the Origin of Religious Motivation Complete Works Vol 5

Description

“What distinguishes religious phenomenology in particular is its tendency toward generality, its investigation of all that is common and shared among religious phenomena. In describing, organizing, and modeling its subjects, it seeks to uncover the essential structure and meaning within the religious phenomenon.”

Religion represents a fundamental pillar and an active social and spiritual element, a rich subject about which thousands of books have been written, much debate has taken place, and numerous visions, ideas, and beliefs have emerged. But what is religion? Or rather, what is the religion of man? Does religion exist for non-mankind? How did the religious phenomenon begin? What were the stages of its formation until it reached its current state? These are many questions we pose in an attempt to understand ourselves first and foremost, and to comprehend everything around us. The thinker Firas al-Sawah answers these questions—and many others that arose in our minds before life conditioned us to accept dogmas, however valid they may be—by delving into the history of human spirituality and the phenomenon of religion from its inception, exploring human achievements in this area throughout the ages. He presents a rigorous academic study of religion, offering us a deeper understanding and a broader scope for reflection.
