The purpose of this book is to bridge the present existing enormous gap and silent animosity between Religion, Science and Philosophy. This state of affairs is responsible for the present atheistic and antireligious feelings, movement and the open warfare of many individuals, groups and some countries against the present system of organized society and of the democratic countries of the world. True Religion, Science and Philosophy must be united again as they were in ancient times, for the enlightenment, progress, peace and happiness of the peoples of the world. In this outspoken book based upon authentic historical, archaeological and philosophical sources, Manas, a Greek-American scholar, educator and philosopher, solves this century-old problem and puts things in their proper places. He shows the steps to be taken, and the only way out for the collaboration of Religion, Science and Philosophy. Thus, the great catastrophe, which is coming again upon humanity, due to the present misunderstandings of peoples and nations, will be averted. Religion, Science and Philosophy when united, form the foundation of every civilized, progressive and happy society, and will establish the Brotherhood of Man and the peace of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
