Introductory Lectures on Religious Philosophy

Introductory Lectures on Religious Philosophy by Amir Sabzevary. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781933455495.

This series of lectures is an overview of five ancient philosophical traditions, focusing on the following questions: More than a series of lectures, this collection of dialogues addresses the following questions: What is the relationship between religion and philosophy? What social and psychological functions do religions serve? What does it mean to be educated? Professor Sabzevarys intellectual nuance is matched only by his clarity, not only into perennial philosophical questions but also the modern condition. Far from leaving abstract concepts in the lofty confines of tradition, Professor Sabzevary speaks a religious language with a modern tongue, placing ancient philosophies within the practical and emotional difficulties of modern life. This applicability does not sacrifice profundity, as these dialogues move in a depth that taps into the wellspring from which all religious philosophies draw their substance.
