More Than Allegory On religious myth, truth and belief by Bernardo Kastrup (Engl

Description: More Than Allegory On religious myth, truth and belief by Bernardo Kastrup A plausible, living validation of religion that doesnt contradict reason. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is a three-part journey into the rabbit hole we call the nature of reality. Its ultimate destination is a plausible, living validation of transcendence. Each of its three parts is like a turn of a spiral, exploring recurring ideas through the prisms of religious myth, truth and belief, respectively. With each turn, the book seeks to convey a more nuanced and complete understanding of the many facets of transcendence. Part I puts forward the controversial notion that many religious myths are actually true; and not just allegorically so. Part II argues that our own inner storytelling plays a surprising role in creating the seeming concreteness of things and the tangibility of history. Part III suggests, in the form of a myth, how deeply ingrained belief systems create the world we live in. The three themes, myth, truth and belief, flow into and interpenetrate each other throughout the book. Author Biography Bernardo Kastrup has a Ph.D. in computer engineering and has been a scientist in some of the worlds foremost scientific laboratories.
