Many people describe themselves as secular rather than religious,
but they often qualify this statement by claiming an interest in
spirituality. But what kind of spirituality is possible in the
absence of religion? In this book, Michael McGhee shows how
religious traditions and secular humanism function as 'schools of
wisdom' whose aim is to expose and overcome the forces that
obstruct justice. He examines the ancient conception of philosophy
as a form of ethical self-inquiry and spiritual practice conducted
by a community, showing how it helps us to reconceive the
philosophy of religion in terms of philosophy as a way of life.
McGhee discusses the idea of a dialogue between religion and
atheism in terms of Buddhist practice and demonstrates how a
non-theistic Buddhism can address itself to theistic traditions as
well as to secular humanism. His book also explores how to shift
the centre of gravity from religious belief towards states of mind
and conduct.
