Agnosticism And Religion

Agnosticism and Religion is a thought-provoking book written by Jacob Gould Schurman, a philosopher and former president of Cornell University. The book explores the concept of agnosticism, which is the belief that the existence of God or any deity cannot be proven or disproven. Schurman delves into the history and philosophy of agnosticism, discussing its origins and how it has evolved over time. The author also examines the relationship between agnosticism and religion, exploring the ways in which agnostics view religion and how religion views agnosticism. Schurman argues that agnosticism can be compatible with certain religious beliefs, but also challenges the traditional views of religion and its claims to absolute truth.Throughout the book, Schurman provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on agnosticism and religion, drawing on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources. He encourages readers to think critically about their own beliefs and to consider the possibility of alternative viewpoints.Overall, Agnosticism and Religion is a fascinating and insightful exploration of one of the most enduring philosophical questions of our time.
