Förlagets beskrivning
This work begins by asking what religious knowledge is and whether it is
possible. After a general discussion of what "religious" might mean and
crediting Western confidence in knowing to the influence of Aristotle, the book
questions whether any knowledge (that is sure and certain verity as opposed to
debatable opinion) is possible? An examination of claims to knowledge by the
physical and social sciences, history, ethics and theology leads to the
conclusion that humans can never claim certainty for any of their opinions.
Using M.K. Gandhi as an example of a modern absolute sceptic, the final section
explores the question: how can we live without certainty, facing the
inexplicable mysteries of life and death? This is followed by a series of
questions and answers which explore further the position of scepticism. This work begins by asking what religious knowledge is and whether it is
possible. It then proceeds to an examination of claims to knowledge by the
physical and social sciences, history, ethics and theology, leading to the
conclusion that humans can never claim certainty for any of their opinions.
