A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The "Religion of Man" (1931), delivered as the Hibbert Lectures at Oxford in 1930, is an extensive and commanding exposition of Tagore's understanding of the meaning and significance of religion in the cultural history of man. Tagore is unequivocal in his faith. He appreciates the intellectual triumphs of science, but he writes as a poet and philosopher. Man must always be a music-maker and dreamer of dreams; he must never lose, in his material quests, his longing for the touch of the divine. He traces the growth of the idea of God from primitive notions to universality. Today, as he says, all barriers are down and the God of humanity has arrived at the gates of the ruined temple of the tribe. His book rings with joy and affirmation overstepping all limitations of race and creed.
