This classic text in American Philosophy by one of the foremost figures in American philosophy offers a concise analysis of the various factors in human nature which go toward forming a religion, to exhibit the inevitable transformation of religion with the transformation of knowledge and to direct attention to the foundation of religion on our apprehension of those permanent elements by reason of which there is a stable order in the world, permanent elements apart from which there could be no changing world.
"Packed with learning and bristling with concise reasoning, almost every page of this book furnishes an opinion or a conclusion which could be developed into a lengthy chapter." -The New York Times "This 1996 edition of Whitehead's 1926 Lowelllectures offers a fresh opportunity to read and reconsider a seminal text in American philosophy. It contains an excellent introduction ... Jones's commentary is fair-minded, well written, and thought-provoking." -Religious Studies Review
