Human Values in a Changing World A Dialogue on the Social Role of Religion

Although published some years ago,Human Values in a Changing Worldaddresses topics and issues which are of perennial importance to human flourishing, including: sexual morality, the limits of tolerance and religious freedom, the future of the family, the belief in an afterlife, and the idea of sin. In a spontaneously wide-ranging conversation one winter evening in Japan, sociologist of religion Bryan Wilson and Buddhist philosopher Daisaku Ikeda recognized the importance of explaining and learning about their respective worldviews. The two men's observations on the origins of religious sensibilities move from the spiritual and the moral to the politics of private and public life. This book is the record of their exchanges on how they see the religious response to the human condition.Wilson, Bryan is the author of 'Human Values in a Changing World A Dialogue on the Social Role of Religion', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845115975 and ISBN 184511597X.
