Inner Religion | Ron Margolin

  • Summary

  • Join us on a journey into the fascinating world of comparative religion. Join us as we explore the intersection between ethics and metaphysics, and the intricate relationship between meaning and mysticism. From the descriptive to the prescriptive, from the dangers to the rewards of interiorization, Professor Margolin's exploration of these concepts offers a unique perspective on the modern role of religion. Whether you're seeking deeper insights or pondering the meaning of mysticism, this conversation promises to be an intellectual and philosophical delight.
