The Debate over the Nature of Reality

Description

Interest Level: Ages 16-18

Reality may be viewed as spiritual, material or a combination of both. This book of essays brings together data from different fields, including philosophy, history, religion, physics, chemistry and biology. It shows that over time the subject of spirituality has been squeezed out of the popular and scientific discussion, leaving behind a strictly materialist interpretation of existence. The purpose of the book is to give a student an orientation to the broader picture so that he can make up his own mind rather than being simply swept along in the current trends. The essays are entitled, “The Mind-Body Debate,” “A History of the Material-Spiritual Discussion” and “The Doctrine of Materialism.”

Includes book, course and step-by-step Learning Guide with Exam, and answers.
