Do We Need a New Religion? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025613314)

"Do We Need a New Religion?" is a profound philosophical inquiry into the relevance of traditional faith in the modern era. Written during a period of rapid scientific advancement and significant social upheaval, Paul Arthur Schilpp examines whether existing religious frameworks are sufficient to meet the ethical and spiritual needs of the twentieth century. The work delves into the tension between dogmatic theology and the evolving human consciousness, questioning if a fundamental reconstruction of religious thought is necessary for human progress.

Schilpp approaches the subject with a philosopher's rigor, exploring the complex intersection of ethics, science, and the perennial human search for meaning. By analyzing the perceived decline of traditional religious authority and the rise of secularism, he challenges readers to consider the future of spiritual life. This book serves as a vital document of religious modernism, offering a critical look at how belief systems must adapt or transform to remain significant in an increasingly complex world. It remains an essential read for students of the philosophy of religion and those interested in the cultural history of early twentieth-century thought.
