Seyyed Hossein Nasr Quotes

From The Renaissance Until Today, Christianity, And Also To Some Extent Judaism, In The West Have Had To Carry Out A Constant Battle Against Ideologies, Philosophies, Institutions And Practices Which Are Secular In Nature And Which Challenge The Authority Of Religion And In Fact Its Very Validity And Legitimacy. These Challenges To Religion Have Varied From Political Ideas Which Are Based On Secularism To The Denial Of The Religious Foundation Of Morality And The Philosophical Denial Of The Reality Of God And Of The After Life Or Of Revelation And Sacred Scripture. The History Of The West Has Been Marked During The Last Few Centuries By A Constant Battle Between The Forces Of Religion And Secularism And In Fact The Gaining Of The Upper Hand By Secularism And Consequently The Denial Of The Reality Of Religion And Its Pertinence To Various Domains Of Life.
