The authors of this challenging work believe that we must look for the cause, not in the outer circumstances of life, but in certain inner changes that are taking place in men's minds as part of the continuing evolution of mankind. They suggest that the tensions of modern man are a direct result of this evolutionary force and the inner changes that result from it. To discover the nature of these changes it is necessary to look back through the centuries to see in what ways men's beliefs and attitudes have changed. In exploring these questions relating to the human situation, the authors reconcile many ancient beliefs with modern scientific knowledge and philosophical understanding in a way that will appeal to both the specialist and the layman. This provocative book confronts the central issues of our time and will be of vital interest to all who are concerned with the future of mankind. Its message for these troubled and bewildering times brings a new hope to the individual and a new purpose to his life. The authors are both British engineers who have been closely associated for most of their lives. Together, over twenty years, they have worked out the original and stimulating ideas presented in this book. While they have dealt to a great extent with European history, their comments apply equally to other parts of the world. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Across the Secular Abyss explains the cultural chasm we currently face, with a traditional religion-based society behind us, and an as-yet unknown secular society ahead. For over a century, scholars, social scientists, and policy makers have debated the apparent erosion of religious faith and wondered whether Western Civilization was turning its back on religion. Today, the issue has reached a crisis point. In the U.S., a new battle between faith and science has erupted within educational institutions, as political polarization progressively divides the country along religious lines.After a century-long truce in which religion and science implicitly agreed to leave each other alone, science is again invading the territory of religion, most obviously in cognitive science that is debunking religious notions of the human soul, and in the broad convergence of many branches of science into one that leaves few gaps where supernatural beliefs could survive. Religion, for its part, is resisting a range of emerging technologies that could transform human nature, namely human reproductive cloning and the kinds of transformative technologies advocated by the Transhumanist movement. Although pure Atheism has little to offer people, and Atheists tend to be people lacking in social obligations, entirely new possibilities are offered by emerging technologies such as computer emulation of human personalities. Draws upon the social-scientific evidence to understand profound religious changes occurring in advanced societies. This book finds that the positive functions of religion have been exaggerated, are declining, and are replaceable by benefits from new Transhumanist technologies. This item is printed on demand.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Across the Secular Abyss draws upon the best social-scientific evidence to understand profound religious changes occurring in advanced societies today, as previously separate fields of science converge, leaving progressively less room for faith. It finds that the positive functions of religion have been exaggerated, are declining, and are replaceable by benefits from new Transhumanist technologies; however, serious concerns are raised whether atheism is compatible with long-term survival of the human species, given falling birth rates.…
