Albert Einstein: My Views
This is an excerpt from the paper...
ôMy Views,ö an essay by Albert Einstein (p. 543), seeks to convince readers that ôserious scientific workersö are the ôonly profoundly religious people.ö In this essay, Einstein (p. 541) discusses his views on the purpose, nature and meaning of life, coming to the conclusion that only those individuals who ascend to a ôthird stage of religious experienceàcosmic religious feelingö keep true religious feeling alive through the arts and sciences. This essay will discuss EinsteinÆs influences in life, his views on human existence and meaning and his belief in the arts and science as a means of conveying and keeping alive the most profound and true religious feeling. In ôMy Views,ö Albert Einstein is literally trying to undermine notions and beliefs associated with what he views as incomplete or misdirected religious feeling. Instead, he insists that organized religion (with their attendant dogma and anthropomorphic conceptions of God) is incapable of leading to true religious feeling. True religious feeling, Einstein (p. 541) maintains, ôknows no dogma and no God conceived in manÆs image,ö a characteristic he claims is common to all of the ôreligious geniusesö of all ages. Einstein believes that manmade conceptions of religion and God, due to fear and necessity, have promoted misguided notions and beliefs of religious feeling that tend to undermine rather than empower the universal connection among all human beings.
