Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

What does it mean to be religious believers for people whose living
conditions are defined by an increasingly secularized environment?
Is the common distinction between faith and knowledge valid? The 21
essays cover approaches from various fields of the humanities. Some
explore post-Kantian thoughts, discussing, i.a., American
Pragmatism, M. Buber, M. Horkheimer, H. Putnam, J. Habermas, Ch.
Taylor and variants of deconstruction, while other essays focus on
ways in which the conflict between agnostics and seekers is
addressed in US literary works, as in Fl. O’Connor, W. Percy, N.
Hawthorne, J. Updike and in novels dealing with pandemics, for
instance by L. Wright, E. M. Wiseman and R. Cook. Historical
studies examine the intermingling of the sacred and the secular in
the American South and neo-scholastic objections to modernity.
Theological issues are being re-framed in essays discussing the
relevance of pluralism, the relation of religious conviction and
public opinion, the situation of scientists who believe and the
thoughts of N. Frye and M. McLuhan. Finally, essays pay attention
to religious aspects in works of art, e.g. in Ukrainian poetry, G.
Mahler’s symphonies and in a TV show presenting new “American
Gods” of globalization.
