Synopsis

Morality as a Religion explores a radical idea: the divine lives within each person. This edition examines how inner conscience and personal growth redefine ethics, spirituality, and the meaning of life.

From ancient mystics to Emerson, the text traces a thread that argues moral progress comes from within, not from external rites or fixed dogmas. It challenges common notions of death, heaven, and the afterlife, offering a human-centered vision of faith and virtue.

• Clear case for seeing the self as a source of spiritual authority rather than an intermediary


• Connections between philosophy, religion, and personal ethics across centuries


• Discussion of how inner experience shapes moral growth and purpose


• Historical perspectives on thinkers who influenced this view, from Eckhart to Emerson

Ideal for readers curious about alternative religious interpretations and the foundations of personal morality.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Morality as a Religion An Exposition of Some First Principles By W. R. Washington Sullivan New Edition BRAND NEW COPY Morality and religion is the relationship between religious views and morals. Many religions have value frameworks regarding personal behavior meant to guide adherents in determining between right and wrong. These include the Triple Jems of Jainism, Judaism's Halacha, Islam's Sharia, Catholicism's Canon Law, Buddhism's Eightfold Path, and Zoroastrianism's "good thoughts, good words, and good deeds" concept, among others. These frameworks are outlined and interpreted by various sources such as holy books, oral and written traditions, and religious leaders. Many of these share tenets with secular value frameworks such as consequentialism, freethought, and utilitarianism.
