Description

The author explores the modern intercultural debate and the vain attempts to find a substitute for religion. He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of East andWest, the nature and validity of religious experience. Finally, he creates a fine vision of man's evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subjectcombined with the author's own living faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.
