Abstract
Despite the anti-religious intellectual output of the thinkers of the Enlightenment and the secular philosophies of the nineteenth century Western World alongside the repercussions caused by the Industrial Revolution which exerted radical changes in the life of European man and woman, religion managed to survive, though with less vigour, and remains as an important element in the modern life. Whether this is due to an essence in religion that resists all challenges, or an anticipation of a metaphysics that matches the worldly life of contemporary individuals, calls for a rich and multi dimensional discourse to be jointly developed by agents from different disciplines.
