The Future of an Illusion

Viac o knihe

The book explores the evolution of religious doctrine, highlighting its capacity for refinement and sublimation that allows for the removal of primitive notions. It argues that this process results in a set of ideas that coexist harmoniously with scientific understanding, challenging the notion that such adaptations are mere compromises. Through this lens, the text delves into the relationship between faith and reason, suggesting that a modern interpretation of religious beliefs can be both meaningful and compatible with contemporary thought.
