Excerpt from Back to Religion
For, certain as it is that blatant denial still holds the public ear and is more and more permeating the masses, yet in the work of the intel lect, and likewise in the depths of men's souls, the case is different. Here, with ever greater vigor, is springing up the feeling that reli gion is indispensable, the yearning for religion.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the dissatisfaction people feel with modern civilization is forcing a resurgence of religion. The author, an acclaimed philosopher, looks at the development of modern society and finds it has given rise to a shallow, materialistic culture that alienates and isolates people. Civilization now values the measurable, and the visible, like scientific advancement, while ignoring the profounder aspects of the human condition, such as soul and depth. This limited view has led to a sense of inner emptiness in people despite their overwhelming abundance and luxury. Drawing on the experiences of people in the present day, the author explains how this has led to an increasing demand for religion, an institution traditionally associated with spirituality and depth. Religion is seen as a way to reconnect with the profound aspects of life and find meaning and purpose. In this thought-provoking book, the author makes a powerful case for the enduring importance of spirituality and the continued relevance of religion in the face of advancements in secular society.
