Summary: Throughout the world there is deep spiritual unrest and dissatisfaction with organized religions as they have come down to us. Those steeped in the spirit of science and modern thought are agerly groping for a faith which will meet the demands of modern science and fulfil the hunger for the Unseen. Professor Radhakrishnan, who has de- voted a lifetime to the study of the religious problems of the East and West, here sets forth his reflections on the religion of the future which will make for the development of a world community.The author evaluates the anti-metaphysical bias of our scientific age and interprets this outlook in positive rather than in negative terms, not as a loss of the sense of the spiritual but as a gain of the wholeness of experience. This book is written with deep religious feeling and will offer comfort to our bewildered generation, for it affirms the doubts and insecurities of modern man and points beyond them to the grounds for hope. It appreciates the intellectual difficulties of belief and gives the widest social content to religion.
