Story4.5 out of 5 stars 102
In The Soul of the World, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton defends the experience of the sacred against today’s fashionable forms of atheism. He argues that our personal relationships, moral intuitions, and aesthetic judgments hint at a transcendent dimension that cannot be understood through the lens of science alone. To be fully alive - and to understand what we are - is to acknowledge the reality of sacred things.

Inadequate reading of a very good book
Reviewed: 12-14-21
In this performance, the mispronunciation of numerous names (Kant, Durkheim, etc.), most foreign words (Lebenswelt, verstehen, etc.), and even some English words (casual for causal) is a near-constant distraction.
