Abstract

Né en Suisse en 1936, émigré au Canada au milieu des années 1960 après avoir passé sept ans à l'université Harvard, l'historien des religions Michel Despland a enseigné, pendant presque cinquante ans, à ce qui sera bientôt l'université Concordia (Montréal). Auteur d'une oeuvre considérable consacrée à l'histoire des idées, aux théories des religions et à des figures majeures de la littérature universelle, il revient ici sur son parcours et sur son apprentissage du monde tel qu'il se donne à voir dans la cohabitation quotidienne des peuples et des gens ainsi que dans leurs âpres luttes. Soucieux de saisir les idées religieuses dans la réalité concrète des hommes et des femmes historiques, il se tient loin de l'intellectualisme totalitaire au profit d'une sensibilité et d'une attention soutenue aux mille et une formes que prennent le dialogue et le conflit. Admirateur de l'auteur du ""Contrat social"", il rappelle que Rousseau « nous a montré que nous vivons dans l'histoire. L'hypothèse de la liberté exige une science sociale qui refuse de penser la société des hommes sur le modèle d'une colonie de marmottes, d'une meute de loups ou d'une association de marchands. En plus de leurs intérêts, les hommes ont des intentions, des aspirations, des déceptions », comme la littérature et la poésie nous l'ont depuis toujours appris.

Abstract

In The Concept of Religion Hans Schilderman edits a volume on the definition and empirical study of religion within the changing landscape of modern society. Now that we can no longer assume a simple harmony between the scientific concept of religion, church doctrine and practiced belief, issues concerning the definition and measurement of religion are becoming crucial issues to academic institutions. The contributing authors present empirical studies studying issues of lifespan and socialisation at school settings; of vocation and profession at church and hospital settings; and culture and nation of society at large. The volume offers a beautiful sample of the empirical study of religion; a conceptual and illustrative overview of the academic field for students and scholars in religion.

Abstract

"Religions and spiritual traditions that deny the existence of God existed long before "spiritual but not religious" became the catchphrase of the day. Spirituality without God reminds us that the West does not hold patents on agnosticism or atheism and is the first survey of godless spirituality, beginning in ancient India, China and Greece. Peter Heehs explores systems of religion or philosophy that rejected the idea of a creative God, including Jainism and Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, and Epicureanism and Scepticism. We are shown Indian traditions that deny the existence of any sort of god, as well as philosophies of the Greco-Roman world that focused on enhancing quality of life rather than buying the favor of the gods through sacrifice or worship. Heehs shows how these traditions, rediscovered during the Renaissance, helped jump-start the European Enlightenment and opened the way to the atheism and agnosticism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This personal, inner, approach later became known as "spirituality." Spirituality without God is an accessible counterbalance to theistic narratives that have dominated the field, as well as an introduction to modes of spiritual thought and practice that may appeal to people who have no interest in God"--
