Publisher:
 2024

Summary

This book is at once a sweeping work of intellectual history and an intimate exploration of the human spiritual psyche. It covers the enduring development of social, cultural, and spiritual values that underlies the superficial rise and fall of political structures — and provides an inspiring basis of hope for the future of humanity. Appropriate for courses in Philosophy or Religion courses.
