The Religious Instinct

By Thomas John Hardy

Book Overview

The Religious Instinct is a book written by Thomas John Hardy and published in 1913. The book is an exploration of the nature of religion and the religious instinct that drives human beings to seek out and connect with a higher power or divine force. Hardy draws on his own experiences and observations, as well as the works of philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers, to examine the origins and manifestations of the religious impulse in human history and culture. He also considers the relationship between religion and science, and the challenges that arise when these two ways of understanding the world come into conflict. Throughout the book, Hardy argues that the religious instinct is a fundamental part of human nature, and that it has played a vital role in shaping our societies and cultures. He also suggests that, despite the many differences between religions and belief systems, there may be a common core of spiritual experience that unites all human beings. Overall, The Religious Instinct is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
