"In the nineteenth century, Nietzsche famously announced that God was dead. In the twentieth century, an increasing reliance on science and technology led to a widespread rejection of belief on the grounds of its irrationality. Yet for all the skepticism directed towards it, religion has not died. In fact, the opposite has occurred: it has persisted and proliferated." "In this wide-ranging dialogue, two leading commentators on religion address - from their different but complementary traditions of Christianity and Buddhism - the continuing appeal of spirituality to people eager to explore fundamental questions of meaning and identity. The authors indicate that science, for all the benefits it has conferred, has limits of explanation. It may be able to show how, but not necessarily why."--BOOK JACKET Religion and civil society Religion and ethics Religion and justice Spirituality Ikeda, Daisaku 0 0 0 0 20000 20000 2019-09-04 1 BL60 .C69 2009 0000092297 2021-01-27 00:00:00 2021-01-21 1 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA4 75671 75677 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5040*5050*5200*5410*6500*6501*6502*6503*7000*9992 1
