The Open Court, Vol. 49: Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea, January, 1935 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore religion, ethics, and the currents of modern thought in a 1935 issue of The Open Court. This edition surveys the science of religion, the religion of science, and the ongoing expansion of the Religious Parliament idea, bringing together scholarly analysis, cultural reporting, and thoughtful critique.
Within its pages, readers encounter rigorous discussions of Jain ethics, including right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, framed to illuminate how belief, knowledge, and action shape moral life. The issue balances this with broader debates on how ethical ideas are formed, challenged, and applied in society, blending philosophy, sociology, and history for a clear sense of their practical impact.
Travel writing and cultural observations round out the offering, delivering vivid impressions of places and peoples while reflecting on modern currents in Asia and the West. Alongside essays, book notes and reviews provide context for contemporary thought in religion, ethics, and intellectual life.
- A detailed look at Jain ethics, knowledge, and the path to right conduct
- Analysis of how moral ideas arise from social needs and political power
- Vivid reportage and reflections from travels that illuminate cultural change
- Contextual book notes that place philosophical debates in a broader literary landscape
Ideal for readers of philosophy, religious studies, and the history of ideas seeking thoughtful, accessible analysis from a 1930s scholarly perspective.
