By Edward Caird

Book Overview

The Evolution of Religion is a book that contains the Gifford Lectures delivered by Edward Caird before the University of St. Andrews in two sessions, from 1890 to 1892. This is the second volume of the series, which explores the development of religion throughout human history. Caird argues that religion has evolved from primitive forms of animism to more complex systems of belief, and that this evolution has been driven by the human need for meaning and purpose. He examines the role of religion in shaping human culture, ethics, and morality, and explores the relationship between religion and science. Caird's lectures are a fascinating exploration of the history of religion, and offer valuable insights into the nature of human spirituality.In Two Volumes.
