Spiritual Life and Secular ThoughtA Phenomenology\nAuthor(s): King-Ho Leung\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Oxford University Press Inc, United States\nImprint: Oxford University Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780197833728, 978-0197833728\nSynopsis\nIn the eyes of many, spirituality, particularly in its non-religious form, is nothing but a secularized, individualized, or even commodified version of traditional religion. Against these pejorative and dismissive conceptions, this book seeks to take seriously the notion of spiritual but not religious as a philosophical concept which can illuminate different aspects of human experience or even uncover a primordial sense of spirituality that lies at the heart of human existence.\n\nSpiritual Life and Secular Thought puts forward a new philosophical definition of spirituality applicable to both religious and non-religious outlooks alike. It proposes that spirituality may be construed as the pursuit of the unity of life and thought. Drawing on phenomeno.
