The World's Religions, by Huston Smith, has been a standard introduction to its eponymous subject since its first publication in 1958. Smith writes humbly, forswearing judgment on the validity of world religions. His introduction asks, "How does it all sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange, ethereal harmony? ... We cannot know. All we can do is try to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine. Such listening defines the purpose of this book." His criteria for inclusion and analysis of religions in this book are "relevance to the modern mind" and "universality," and his interest in each religion is more concerned with its principles than its context. Therefore, he avoids cataloging the horrors and crimes of which religions have been accused, and he attempts to show each "at their best." Yet The World's Religions is no pollyannaish romp: "It is about religion alive," Huston writes. "It calls the soul to the highest adventure it can undertake, a proposed journey across the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit. The call is to confront reality." And by translating the voices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, and Judaism, among others, Smith has amplified the divine call for generations of readers. --Michael Joseph Gross
具體描述
讀後感
中国当代哲学大师冯友兰认为，哲学是对人生系统的反思。而宗教的核心必然是哲学，所以他认为宗教就是哲学加上一定的上层建筑，包括教义、礼仪和体制。 根据冯友兰的定义，中国的儒家、道家（不是道教）都不能称之为宗教。 而《人的宗教》的作者休斯顿•史密斯却...
評分第一次读这本书是2002年，很感动。不只是感动于休斯顿·史密斯那种平静而睿智的讲述，就是编者那份前言，也让我欷歔了半天。 每次看到报上报道有多少大学生找不到工作，或有某某大学生泼硫酸、跳楼，我就不禁想：我们教育怎么了？我们的学生怎么了？除了呆板的应试，除了机械的...
評分翻译很流畅，几大重要宗教都涵盖了，提纲挈领。 另一个视角看宗教，印度教、基督、佛、伊斯兰、儒、道，让人对宗教感知更多些。 作者以睿智，清晰的笔触充分的展现了每一种信仰的精神内涵。其实，宗教在很多时候会给人一种力量，内心真正的强大却需要自己去成长。
評分這個書很厚，讀起來不輕鬆，俺花了兩個禮拜俺才念完一遍。 隨手翻開，四處可見用鉛筆劃得密密麻麻的橫線，貌似是認真讀了，但是想全部融會貫通還差得遠。 而且頗棘手，我非常想給大家推薦這個書，卻不知該從哪個點切進去講，只好從周邊花絮開始…… 前一陣昆明砍殺事件時，好...
評分读完这本书，想到一个故事，一段往事和一个人。 Part 1.犹太商人的智慧 几年前读到一个关于“三枚戒指”的故事，背景是十字军东征时代的耶路撒冷。Saladin是当时的穆斯林统治者，而Nathan是位犹太富商人和智者。国家因为战争缺少经费，Saladin招Nathan入宫借款。...
用戶評價
讀瞭佛教章，作者的視角不是曆史的，也不是文獻學的，或者哲學的。難道這就是傳說中的宗教學路數？書中說四聖諦之二是tanha, 似與十二因緣相混淆。又譯大小乘之乘為舟，很奇怪。說大乘的priest可以結婚，不通。所引資料與圖書，除Conze的Buddhist Scriptures較正經，其它都是些未聽說過的英語暢銷書。
评分說不上是巨著，但作為入門書或教科書卻十分不錯，本來無打算要讀它，全因教學之故，所謂「陪太子讀書」，隻好速速看完它。不喜歡他口水多多，但對故事的編排和重點的鋪陳都是有水準的，而者對各個宗教的重點都掌握得很好，並十分客觀持平

评分這個，超級通俗！！！推薦
评分重要的不是對某一宗教理解上的客觀與全麵，重要的是作者去觀察的視角，重要的是其反復斟酌終於下筆直至定稿時候嘴角的所有微笑，重要的是那顆想要去理解的心，想要去傾聽的耳朵，最重要的是這一切背後流露齣的愛。而這正正是宗教的本質，這與此書是否通俗是否為入門讀物的爭論毫無關聯。且不說各個宗教的敘述，單單是前言與結尾中便有很多值得抄錄的段落。行文考究，取捨有度，又可作救急的工具書，這樣的書是可以打五星的！另作者采訪剋裏希那穆提的視頻很是有趣，諸君有緣可找來一探究竟。
