Synopsis

"A Divided Universe contrasts the relative merits of science and religion, and concludes that both disciplines are necessary for a proper understanding of life. This book is a rare combination of depth and breadth. A Divided Universe is a book to be read by anyone interested in the human condition and the nature of existence." La Source "A Divided Universe gives a detailed and sustained defense of religion as a rational enterprise concerned with establishing the truth of theological propositions. The author proposes a reevaluation of science and religion in a way that would provide the basis for an answer to the question of being in relation to the totality of meaning to which ultimately all our statements must be related. This though provoking book offers a convincing critique of science and theology, and how both can lead to a deeper understanding of existence." Oliver Scott "A Divided Universe offers a vision of the human condition grounded on an ultimate reality beyond the reach of science. In the process the author develops a metaphysics that eschews religious dogma and empiricism. This is an important book that opens a new chapter to the debate about the origin and meaning of life." J. L. Moore

À propos de l'auteur

Vernon L. Anley was educated in Australia and in England. After leaving university he worked for the Ministry of Overseas Development in the West Indies before resuming an academic career in Europe and the Far East.

He has coauthored a number of academic books, written travel guides on the Hejaz and Yemen, radio scripts, and articles on linguistics and education.

A Carnival of Lies, a novel about the complex developments in Germany between 1939 and 1945, is an outstanding work from which no one interested in the subject can fail to profit. His visits to Hitler's death camps in Germany, Poland, and Austria raised questions about human nature and death which he attempts to answer in An Unholy Love.
