Produktbeschreibung

"Religious Reality" is a thought-provoking book written by A. E. J. Rawlinson that explores the nature of religious experience and the reality of a religious belief. Rawlinson, a British theologian, and philosopher argues that religious experience is a fundamental aspect of human nature and that it reveals a deeper reality beyond the material world. The book begins with a study of the different forms of religious experience, including mystical experiences, ethical experiences, and experiences of divine revelation. The author's approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, anthropology, and sociology as well as from the history of religion and philosophy. He engages with a wide range of thinkers, from William James and Carl Jung to Friedrich Nietzsche and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Throughout the book, Rawlinson emphasizes the importance of personal religious experience and the need for religious beliefs to be grounded in lived experience rather than abstract doctrine or dogma.
