Summary: "The Next Step in Religion: An Essay toward the Coming Renaissance" by Roy Wood Sellars is a philosophical essay written in the early 20th century. The work examines the evolution of religious thought, arguing for a shift from traditional supernatural views of spirituality to a modern understanding that embraces humanistic and naturalistic principles. Sellars explores the changing nature of religion in the context of social progress and evolving human values, suggesting that the future of religion lies in its ability to align with contemporary understanding and ethical frameworks. The opening of the essay introduces the idea that a new worldview is emerging, shaped by advancements in science, social reform, and a deeper understanding of human needs. Sellars emphasizes the importance of spiritual courage in navigating this transformation, urging readers to confront and reassess their inherited beliefs, especially in a post-war context. He suggests that true religious experience should focus on values that enhance human life and foster community, moving away from fear-based and supernatural elements to a more active appreciation of the moral and ethical dimensions of existence. Through this lens, he sets the stage for a reimagined spirituality that prioritizes human connection and practical ethics over traditional doctrines. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
