ETHICS, 2E
Theory and Contemporary Issues, Concise Edition
Barbara MacKinnon, University of San Francisco
MacKinnon’s ETHICS: THEORY AND CONTEMPORARY
ISSUES—CONCISE EDITION, 2E presents focused
coverage of the major areas of ethical theory and an
engaging collection of contemporary moral debates. The
concise edition removes readings found in the marketleading comprehensive edition, but the remainder
of the content is identical, providing a balanced and
effective introduction to ethics that integrates theory
with today’s most pressing moral issues. Rigorous, yet
reader-friendly, illuminating overviews and selections
of readings from both traditional and contemporary
sources make even complex philosophical concepts
accessible for students. Comprehensive, clear-sighted
introductions to general and specific areas of ethical
debate cover major ethical theories, including feminist
ethics, contract theory, and ethical relativism, before
delving into issues ranging from euthanasia and
sexual morality to war and globalization. Increased
coverage of contemporary dilemmas highlights issues
of widespread interest, including torture and terrorism,
“partial birth” abortion, cloning, same-sex marriage,
and global distributive justice. An innovative online
resource center offers, among other things, animated
simulations. These simulations offer students the
opportunity to personally engage with dilemmas
and thought experiments commonly presented in
introduction to ethics classes and provide instructors
with a way to seamlessly integrate online assignments
into the class.
NEW TO THIS EDITION

feminist thought and the ethics of care, the other, on
contractarianism.

introductions in this edition’s chapters on theory
provide detailed summaries of the theories,

• Balanced presentation: This book introduces
traditional ethics as developed in the European
tradition, while still emphasizing a range of cultural,
gender, racial, and international perspectives.
• Assistance in writing papers: Because writing
philosophy papers often poses a significant challenge
for today’s students, a 12-page appendix dedicated
to writing ethics papers provides much-needed
assistance. In addition, topics and resources for
written assignments appear within discussion cases,
the text’s companion website, and within each endof-chapter bibliography.
• Intriguing chapter openings: Actual, interesting life
events, hypothetical dialogue, or recent empirical data
at the beginning of each chapter capture students’
interest and direct their attention to the engaging
readings that follow.
• Effective learning aids: Study Questions at the
beginning of each reading help students focus and
become critically engaged with the content. Review
Exercises at the end of each chapter can also serve as
test or exam questions. Discussion Cases, following
each chapter in the second part of the text, encourage
profitable classroom discussion.

FOOD ETHICS
Paul Pojman, Towson University; Louis P. Pojman, Late of the United
States Military Academy, West Point
Food Ethics is an emerging course area in many
academic departments for good reason. Students
are interested in the issues and confront them to
some degree several times a day. There is a growing
realization that food ethics are at core of many other
critical environmental issues, including climate change,
population and migration, appropriate technology,
development and capitalism, as well as pollution. This
anthology includes twenty-one readings designed to
provide a basic reader for a Food Ethics class or to act
as an academic companion text along side one of the
many mass market titles addressing these issues. The
readings cover issues such as genetically modified foods,
animal rights, population and consumption, pollution,
centralized versus local production, vegetarianism
and more. Introductions and study questions help
students to prepare for reflection and discussion on
these significant and noteworthy issues.

CENGAGE ADVANTAGE SERIES: VOYAGE
OF DISCOVERY, 4E
A Historical Introduction to Philosophy
William F. Lawhead, University of Mississippi
Highly praised for its clarity and rich exposition, this
history of philosophy text illustrates philosophy as
a process and not just a collection of opinions or
conclusions. Rather than simply reporting the positions
of a given philosopher, Lawhead’s prose assists
students in retracing the thinker’s intellectual journey.
Students are invited to engage with each philosopher’s
intellectual process, drawing connections with their
own lives and cultures. Metaphors, analogies, vivid
images, concrete examples, common experiences,
and diagrams demonstrate the concrete relevance of
abstract arguments and their practical implications for
contemporary society. This fourth edition of VOYAGE
OF DISCOVERY: A HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO
PHILOSOPHY features new historical profiles and/
or works representing such philosophers as Plato, St.
Thomas Aquinas, Simone de Beauvoir, and Martha
Nussbaum, among others.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• In the Introduction, the author briefly discusses the
absence of female philosophers in the historical
accounts of philosophy.
• Chapter 3, “The Sophists and Socrates,” contains
Socrates’s argument with Thrasymacus concerning
the nature of justice, from Plato’s Republic.
• Chapter 4, “Plato: The Search for Ultimate Truth and
Reality,” contains Plato’s Allegory of the Cave from
the Republic.
• Chapter 6, “Classical Philosophy after Aristotle,”
contains a historical profile of Hypatia of Alexandria.
• Chapter 10, “Philosophy and Theology in the Eleventh
and Twelfth Centuries,” now includes a historical
profile of Hildegard of Bingen.
• Chapter 11, “St. Thomas Aquinas: Aristotle’s Philosophy
and Christian Thought,” now includes his five
arguments for God from the Summa Theologica.
• Chapter 15, “René Descartes: Founder of Modern
Philosophy,” supplements the discussion of his
struggle with skepticism by adding material from
Meditations 1 and 2.
• Chapter 19, “John Locke: The Rise of Modern
Empiricism,” has been enriched with a historical
profile of Mary Wollstonecraft. Although Locke and
Wollstonecraft were not contemporaries, Locke’s
influence on Wollstonecraft’s work makes this the
best place to discuss her life and philosophy.
• Chapter 21, “David Hume: The Scottish Skeptic,”
makes the discussion of his skeptical arguments
concerning causal reasoning more concrete by
including the relevant passages from An Enquiry
Concerning Human Understanding.
• Chapter 32, “Phenomenology and Existentialism,” now
includes a historical profile of Simone de Beauvoir.

THE BIG QUESTIONS, 9E
A Short Introduction to Philosophy, International Edition
Robert C. Solomon, University of Texas, Austin; Kathleen M. Higgins,
University of Texas, Austin
Solomon and Higgins’s engaging text covers philosophy’s
central ideas in an accessible, approachable manner.
Through an exploration of timeless “big questions”
about the self, God, justice, and other meaningful
topics, the authors provide students with the context
they need for an understanding of the foundational
issues, while giving them the impetus and confidence
to establish their own informed positions on these
“big questions.” To give you the flexibility to fit the
book to your course, the authors have designed each
chapter with self-contained discussions, thus making
it easy for you to choose your preferred topics and
presentation order.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• In the new edition, the author has summarized the
general layout of each chapter toward the beginning
of each chapter.
• The boxes found throughout the text have been put
into three categories: “Quotations/Excerpts” offer
a wide variety of excerpts from key philosophical
writings, as well as relevant popular sources.
“Biographical” boxes provides a glimpse into the
lives of many of the philosophers covered in the
main text. “Informational” boxes set forth the beliefs
of individuals and philosophical movements and
point out links between philosophical theory and its
application to societies worldwide.
• Chapter 10 is now exclusively about non-Western
philosophy, and the coverage of African American
philosophy and feminist philosophy has mostly been
shifted to Chapter 9 (the chapter on justice), except
for the discussion of feminist ethics, which is now in
Chapter 8 (the chapter on the good life).
• The author has expanded a number of topics
throughout the book, including Berkeley’s arguments
against material substance (Chapter 4); Descartes’s
argument for the existence of God and the external
world (Chapter 5); feminist ethics (Chapter 8); and (to
some extent) artistic censorship (Chapter 11).
• Some topics that were not or were barely discussed
in the previous edition have been included: the nontraditional conceptions of God of Karl Rahner and
Marcus Borg (Chapter 3); string theory (Chapter
4); Descartes’s wax argument (Chapter 5); two
of Derek Parfit’s teleporter cases (Chapter 6);
eliminative materialism (Chapter 6); Benjamin
Libet’s empirical basis for denying free will (Chapter
7); Harry Frankfurt’s critique of the of the Principle
of Alternative Possibilities as a basis for moral
responsibility (Chapter 7); the trolley problem
(Chapter 8); Plato’s account of the Ring of Gyges
and the question of piety in the Euthyphro (Chapter
8); the morality of patriotism and partiality more
generally(Chapter 9); just war theory (Chapter 9);
cosmopolitanism (Chapter 9); contemporary art and
debates over what makes something art (Chapter 11).
FEATURES
• This engaging text is organized around a series of
timeless “big questions” such as the meaning of life,
God, and morality, giving students of all backgrounds
and interest levels a useful, relevant context to
approach key philosophical concepts, explore their
own ideas, and form their own opinions as they
examine each topic.
• By starting the discussion in each chapter from the
positions and opinions often held by typical firstand second-year students, the authors engage the
students in “doing” philosophy right from the start
and then, using their signature conversational style,
guide students Socratically through an analysis of the
issues surrounding each of the big questions.
• Throughout the text, special boxed features present
www.cengageasia.com
37
excerpts from primary sources to expose students
to fundamental works in the history of philosophy,
allowing them to benefit from a more informed
perspective without the need to confront difficult or
intimidating texts in their entirety.
• Biographical descriptions of famous philosophers
and their views help students recognize philosophical
ideas and texts as the work of real people with
experiences and struggles relevant to students’ own
lives, providing an invaluable human connection to
help them understand and appreciate even difficult
course material.

THE PATH OF PHILOSOPHY
Truth, Wonder, and Distress
John Marmysz, College of Marin in Kentfield, CA
The Path of Philosophy introduces college students to
the study of philosophy through a compelling narrative
in which the world’s most important philosophers
appear as characters. Framed by the concept of
Wondrous Distress, the text traces the history of
western philosophy from its beginnings in ancient

Logic and Critical
Reasoning
Greece to contemporary developments in the modern
world. Threads running through the text demonstrate
how philosophy is unique and distinct from religion
and science, while at the same time showing how all
three disciplines are interrelated. Exceptionally well
written, and unusual in its cohesiveness, the text leaves
readers with a vivid picture of philosophy as a unique
and important field of study.
FEATURES
• Sidebars provide contemporary links to the concepts
introduced in the text helping students make
connections between the ideas they are reading about
and people, events, and cultural elements that are
familiar to them.
• Brief primary source selections are woven into the
narrative to provide a window into philosophical
writing or to act as a point of entry into longer
selections chosen by the instructor.
• Original black and white drawings illustrate the text
and give it the feel of a contemporary graphic novel.

false confirmation and rejection.
• In Chapter 5, the discussion of probability and
statistical inference is greatly simplified. Each section
now begins with and explains all points in terms of
recent causal studies.
• Two new pseudoscientific fallacies have been added
and the text now contains many new and recent
illustrations of all the fallacies.
• Dozens of new exercises and examples have been
added to every chapter.
• End of chapter concept quizzes have been added.

NEW TO THIS EDITION
CONTENTS
• Chapter 1: A new exercise section has been added on
identifying main points and supporting points in brief
real-life passages. The section on the attitude of the
critical reasoner and the section on critical reasoning
versus mere disagreement have been combined.
• Chapter 3: The sections on moving to real-world
discourse and on finding an argument in a sea of words
have been revised so that the main techniques are
easier to apply to examples and exercises.
• Chapter 4: The section dealing with arguments
involving “should” and “should not” has been
developed with some revised illustration and tied
to a new section that focuses on the context of such
arguments, leading to new exercises at the end of
the chapter.
• Chapter 6: The reader now moves more quickly
into the discussion of specific fallacies after the
introductory material on the nature of fallacies,
persuasiveness, and the categories of fallacies.
• Chapter 7: Several longer passages have been added
on topics of current interest. The discussion of
how conceptual theories can support premises of
deductive arguments is expanded.
• Chapter 8: The discussion of sampling arguments
is expanded to allow particular attention to the
concepts of internal validity, external validity, and
construct validity as well as the criticism of sampling
arguments that make faulty generalizations from
samples of properties that are temporally unstable.
The discussion of arguments with statistical premises
has also been expanded.
• Chapter 9: The account of convergent arguments has
been simplified so that counter-considerations are
presented as criticisms of a convergent argument.

California State University Bakersfield
CRITICAL THINKING: A USER’S MANUAL offers an
innovative skill-based approach to critical thinking that
provides step-by-step tools for learning to evaluate
arguments. Students build a complete skill set by
recognizing, analyzing, diagramming, and evaluating
arguments; later chapters encourage application
of the basic skills to categorical, truth-functional,
analogical, generalization, and causal arguments as
well as fallacies. The exercises throughout the text
engage readers in active learning, integrate writing
as part of the critical thinking process, and emphasize
skill transference. A special feature, called Your Turn!
encourages students to not just skim through the
book’s explanations, but stop, think, and apply what

they are learning. CRITICAL THINKING: A USER’S
MANUAL offers multiple opportunities for different
kinds of practice and options for appealing to different
learning styles. The quantity and variety of exercises
allow for group work, reflection and application, and
writing practice as well as traditional homework
exercises. Aplia, an online homework solution that

CRITICAL THINKING, 2E
The Art of Argument
George W. Rainbolt, Georgia State University; Sandra L. Dwyer,
Georgia State University
CRITICAL THINKING: THE ART OF ARGUMENT, 2nd
Edition, is an accessible yet rigorous introduction
to critical thinking. The text emphasizes immediate
application of critical thinking in everyday life and
helps students apply the skills they are studying. The
relevance of these skills is shown throughout the
text by highlighting the advantages of basing one’s
decisions on a thoughtful understanding of arguments
and presenting the overarching commonalities across
arguments. With its conversational writing style and
carefully selected examples, the book employs a
consistent and unified treatment of logical form and
an innovative semiformal method of standardizing
arguments that illustrates the concept of logical form
while maintaining a visible connection to ordinary
speech. Without sacrificing accuracy or detail, the
authors clearly present the material, with appropriate
study tools and exercises that emphasize application
rather than memorization.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• The semiformal method, unique to this text, is
reinforced by making more visible the connection
between the application of the method and how the
reasoning skills derived from it actually help students
in other classes, at work, and in their daily lives. A Key
Form margin note points to each use of the semiformal
method, and a new section, Argument Forms Studied
in the Chapter, emphasizes the importance of form.
www.cengageasia.com
46
• Coverage of fallacies has been increased by 40%. The
nine additional fallacies presented are Composition,
Division, Amphiboly, Red Herring, False Precision,
Accent, Common Cause, Appeal to Force, and Appeal
to Pity.
• The discussion of unstated premises is completely
revised in light of testing with students. The revised
discussion simplifies the use of unstated premises.
• The format for standardizing and diagramming
arguments has been reworked to make standardizations
and diagrams clearer and easier to understand.
• The discussion of causal arguments has been
streamlined to help students identify the underlying
form of causal arguments.
• The learning outcomes, which open each chapter of
this book, are visually tied to the textual explanations
and to exercise sets that pertain to each. This
interconnection of the learning outcomes to the
text and practice provides a tool for instructors and
students to measure progress: it helps demonstrate
improved outcomes and facilitates students’ review
and preparation for exams.
• This edition emphasizes the relevance of the content
to students’ lives and goals and helps connect it to the
real world. Examples and exercises have been revised
to rely on more real-world references from diverse
areas such as social media, current events, popular
arts (music, video, film).
• In response to reviewer comments, the marginal
Key Concepts feature has been modified to help
users identify more clearly why each of these is
highlighted. These at-a-glance aids now identify
three different types of material: Key Terms highlight
important terms presented in the text and include
their definition; Key Concepts point to fundamental
concepts that students need to know to succeed in
college; and Key Forms identify argument forms that
students need to master. These forms are all in the
semiformal format. In addition, the Technical Terms
pedagogical tools have been revised to best help
students grasp the content and include exclusively
those terms likely to be used in further academic
coursework.
FEATURES
• This text has been class-tested over the course of
three years with more than 10,000 students and more

INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC AND
CRITICAL THINKING, INTERNATIONAL
EDITION, 6E
Merrilee H. Salmon, University of Pittsburgh
Designed for students with no prior training in logic,
INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC AND CRITICAL THINKING,
6E, International Edition offers an accessible treatment
of logic that enhances understanding of reasoning in
everyday life. The text begins with an introduction to
arguments. After some linguistic preliminaries, the text
presents a detailed analysis of inductive reasoning and
associated fallacies. This order of presentation helps to
motivate the use of formal methods in the subsequent
sections on deductive logic and fallacies. Lively and
straightforward prose assists students in gaining facility
with the sometimes challenging concepts of logic. By
combining a sensitive treatment of ordinary language
arguments with a simple but rigorous exposition of
basic principles of logic, the text develops students’
understanding of the relationships between logic
and language, and strengthens their skills in critical
thinking.

the familiar, real world examples in the inductive
arguments section, and can then apply these skills to
analyzing deductive arguments.
• Lucid prose assists students in gaining facility with
the often difficult concepts of logic.
• Timely real-world examples and exercises not only
help students recognize the day-to-day relevance of
logical analysis, they expand their vocabulary and
knowledge of a wide array of subject areas.
• Fallacies are introduced in chapter 3, and then specific
types of fallacies are covered in connection with the
correct patterns of inductive and deductive arguments
which the fallacies resemble.

like having a talented and patient instructor walking
a student through difficult concepts in a lecture or
during office hours. Abundant carefully crafted exercise
sets accompanied by a clear, engaging exposition give
students a firm grasp of basic concepts, which build to
an exploration of sentential logic, first-order predicate
logic, the theory of descriptions, and identity. As the
title suggests, this is a book devoted not merely to logic;
students will also examine the philosophical debates
that led to the development of the field.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• Revised and updated exercises and explanations

The text offers both breadth and depth, but is written
in clear and straightforward language, making it
appropriate for philosophy of science courses at both
the undergraduate and graduate levels.

ON AESTHETICS
Joseph Margolis, Columbia University
What is art? Must art be beautiful? Must art be
politically or culturally significant? How does art
differ from other products of human activity? Joseph
Margolis has spent decades thinking through these
and related questions. In this book, he introduces his
reader to the field of Aesthetics by thinking through
the most fundamental philosophical questions about
art in a way that is engaging and accessible. This
book could be used alongside a textbook of classic
readings in Aesthetics, or as a stand-alone text in

ancient Greek philosophers, helping the reader find
the connections between their philosophies and our
own. Intended for both classroom use and a general
audience, this book provides an overview of ancient
Greek history and culture, extensive chapters on
the Pre-Socratics, Plato and Aristotle, and individual
chapters on the Sophists, Socrates, and Philosophy after
Aristotle. Greek philosophy is dynamic, provocative,
and erotic-full of the restlessness of inquiry from the
epigrams of Heraclitus and the paradoxes of Zeno
to the dialogues of Plato and Aristotle’s search for
an adequate starting point. This book captures the
movement of each thinker’s response to his problems,
the exchange between various thinkers, and the
relation of their thinking and our own. The basic works
and ideas of each philosopher are fully explained as
well as various suggestions for interpretation. THE

ON EPISTEMOLOGY
Linda Zagzebski, University of Oklahoma
What is knowledge? Why do we want it? Is knowledge
possible? How do we get it? What about other
epistemic values like understanding and certainty?
Why are so many epistemologists worried about
luck? In ON EPISTEMOLOGY Linda Zagzebski
situates epistemological questions within the broader
framework of what we care about and why we care
about it. Questions of value shape all of the above
questions and explain some significant philosophical
trends: the obsession with answering the skeptic,
the flight from realism, and the debate between
naturalism and anti-naturalism. THE WADSWORTH

AMERICA, 5E
Religions and Religion
Catherine L. Albanese, University of California, Santa Barbara
Since its first publication in 1981, AMERICA: RELIGIONS
AND RELIGION has become the standard introduction
to the study of American religious traditions. Written
by one of the foremost scholars in the field of American
religions, this textbook has introduced thousands of
students to the rich religious diversity that has always
been a hallmark of the American religious experience.
Beginning with Native American religious traditions
and following the course of America’s religious history
up to the present day, this text gives students the
benefit of the author’s rigorous scholarship in clear
language that has proven to be readily accessible for
today’s undergraduates. This long-awaited new edition
explores a variety of recent events and developments,
including increasing religious pluralism and, especially,
a combinative postpluralism in which different faiths
in America subtly begin to borrow from one another.
The new edition examines “postethnic” Judaism in the
Jewish Renewal movement and other instances, the
growing Womenpriest movement among American
www.cengageasia.com
60
Catholics, and the development of Islam in America in
the light of September 11, 2001. It surveys the “emerging
church” movement among liberal evangelicals and
others, and follows the growth of a “new spirituality”
that is much broader than the New Age movement.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• New discussion of the “Emergent Church” movement
among liberal Protestant evangelicals.
• N e w d i s c u s s i o n of t h e r o l e of w o m e n i n
Catholic communities, including those known as
“Womenpriests.”
• New exploration of the Jewish Renewal movement
and the growth of “post-ethnic” Judaism.
• Expanded coverage of the development of Islam in
America.
• Expanded coverage of “new spirituality,” new age
religion, and other alternative religious movements.
FEATURES
• The text treats religious events and phenomena in
their social-historical-cultural settings, and moves
from examining the outer expression of religions to
grasping the inner experience of their practice.
• With its emphasis on religious diversity and exchange
in the American experiment, the text is organized
into the following divisions: “Manyness: The Original
Cast;” “Manyness: Newmade in America;” “Manyness:
Patterns of Expansion and Contraction;” and
“Oneness: The Public, the Civil, and the Culture of
the Center”.
• Coverage of important current topics includes: the
new spirituality; the Christian Right; new ethical
orientations regarding bioethics, homosexuality, the
environment, and women in religious leadership; and
immigration (Muslim and Latino, especially Latino
evangelicalism and Pentecostalism).
• Exploring religion in America as an expression of our
pluralistic society--not just those of the Anglo-Saxon
and Protestant history-makers--this book includes
coverage of an exceptionally wide array of religious
traditions, including: Daoism, Confucianism, the
Mennonites, the Amish, the Hutterites, the Radical
Reformation, Witchcraft, Scientology, and Jehovah’s
Witnesses.
• AMERICA: RELIGIONS AND RELIGION places
consistent emphasis on pluralism and postpluralism.
Pluralism here stands for religious people living
side by side--sometimes in conflict, other times
with tolerance and respect, and still other times
with cooperation for mutual goals and benefit.
Postpluralism here signifies religious combination-the spiritual expression of the human habit of
copying from one another, sometimes consciously
and sometimes unconsciously.

the essential claims of faith. Additionally, the book
discusses the standard arguments in philosophy of
religion in sufficient detail, to help students understand
their power and complexity.

RELIGION IN JAPAN, 5E
Unity and Diversity
H. Byron Earhart, Western Michigan University
This standard text explores religion in Japan as a
complex tapestry of different religious strands,
reflecting both the unity and diversity of Japanese
culture, a theme Earhart pioneered in the first edition
(1969) of this enduring, classic book--a theme he has
devoted subsequent decades to refining through
cutting-edge scholarship and keen observation of the
evolving religious scene. Tracing the development of
religious traditions from the prehistoric era through
modern times, Earhart explores the vital influence
of Shinto, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, and
folk religion. Presuming no technical or academic
background, the text guides students to key Japanese
religious themes, which include the proximity of
humans and gods, the religious character of the family,
the bond between religion and the nation, and the
pervasiveness of religion in everyday life. This new
edition updates the description and interpretation of
the entire history of religion in Japan in light of the
latest developments in the field. In the latter chapters,
changes in the contemporary scene are highlighted,
discussing Tokyo Disneyland, manga, and anime as
“alternative reality,” as well as the innovations in more
“traditional” events such as wedding ceremonies and
rites for the dead.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• Although the fifth edition preserves the outline of
previous editions, the contents have been expanded
and revised significantly.
• While discussing the debate about the nature of
Shinto as a religious tradition, he also raises questions
about the nature of Buddhism, and the ambiguities
of using the terms “religion” and “tradition,” both
www.cengageasia.com
67
in the Japanese and wider Asian context and in the
Western world.
• This edition includes new material on the contemporary
religious scene in Japan, which includes such
phenomena as New Religions, Aum Shinrikyo (and
the sarin gas attacks), and the alternative spiritual
worldviews shaped by electronic media and manga
comics.
• Special attention is paid to recent innovations in both
wedding ceremonies and death rites.
FEATURES
• Although the fifth edition preserves the outline of
previous editions, the contents have been expanded
and revised significantly.
• Earhart has included coverage of contemporary
scholarship on religion in Japan, from the prehistoric
period to the modern scene, with special emphasis
on major theoretical issues.

place of humans in the world, rituals and symbols, and
the prospects for life after death. Furthermore, this
text combines insightful, engaging prose with maps,
photographs, timelines, excerpts from sacred texts,
and other helpful pedagogical aids that provide a
comprehensive yet accessible survey of world religions.
