Now a distinguished scholar who has written widely on thinkers ranging from Samuel Beckett to Eric Voegelin inquires into the sources of religious conflict - and into ways of being religious that might diminish that conflict.\"\"Worldview and Mind\"\" covers a wide range of thinkers and movements to explore the relation between religion and modernity in all its complexity. Eugene Webb invokes a number of topical issues, including religious terrorism, as he unfolds the phenomenon of religion in all its complications, from the difference between faith and belief to the diversities among - and within - religions.Building on Karl Jaspers' psychology of worldviews and Jean Piaget's developmental psychology, Webb looks at a broad spectrum of religions - especially the history of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in their various forms - to explore the subjective factors that sometimes render religions conflictual and aggressive and to consider conditions that might foster more helpful and reconciling forms of religiousness. He explores what psychological analysis reveals about the relationship between stages of psychological development and ways of being religious - ways that range from closed-minded literalism to open-minded tolerance. He also identifies unconscious and developmental obstacles to religious maturity and depicts the mature person as one who participates in the mystery of self-transcending love.Webb argues that authentic religion need not succumb to dogmatism, nor support fanaticism, nor be consigned to the stages of immature culture. Responding to critics of religion, from Sigmund Freud to Daniel Dennett, he demonstrates that religious traditions have more spiritual depth than these critics have granted and a greater potential for development along lines they might even favor. His insightful book proposes that, if religious people can step back from their traditions and consider them as partial ways of relating to transcendent ultimacy, the world's religions might manage to develop a way of living together with mutual appreciation and respect.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50364929409297,"sku":"CIN0826218334G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826218334.jpg?v=1751201668"},{"product_id":"philosophers-of-consciousness-book-eugene-webb-9780295994376","title":"Philosophers of Consciousness","description":"Philosophers of Consciousness is both an expository study of the thought of the six figures it focuses on and an original exploration of the themes they address.

He demonstrates the connection between modern literature and religious tradition, and shows how conceptions of the sacred and its relation to the secular have been transformed in modern literary imagery.  Webb considers the writers he discusses to be the true explorers of their generation, who have had to find a new symbolic language in which to understand and express their \"idea of the holy.\" Because the sacred consists of \"additude\" and \"experience\" as well as \"concept,\" Webb maintains that it receives its most direct and adequate expression in works of imaginative literature, where imagery can combine the intellectual and emotional elements of the sacred and communicate them to the reader.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51803193245969,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51803193671953,"sku":"NGR9780295994390","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52775624802577,"sku":"NIN9780295994390","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780295994390.jpg?v=1752236651"},{"product_id":"self-between-book-eugene-webb-9780295994369","title":"The Self Between","description":"After the disappointing events of the 1960s, including the loss of Algeria, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and the American war in the former French colony of Indo-China, people in France began to look seriously to Freudianism in the transformed version of Jacques Lacan, for a new way of understanding human relations and the relations between human beings and society.
