Morality as a Religion

This book imparts the conception of morality in the context of religion and faith, giving the discussion of the question of ethics and religion, their distinction and their intimate relations, and how that religion comes as the crown and glory of the ethical life, the transfiguration of the ethical ideal and the most powerful stimulus towards the realization in practice of what is conceived as theoretically desirable. <br /> The book discusses in detail the relations between ethics, religion, and science; the essence of religion; the conception of ethics as the basis of religion; the moral law, the ethical aspects of prayer, marriage, death, war and faith; the different schools of doctrines such as Immanuel Kant's; the human conduct and its conformity with a recognized law of life; the deep need man has of religious emotion to satisfy the ineradicable instinct of his nature towards communion with the unseen world.
