Religion from Tolstoy to CamusWalter Kaufmann Routledge, 2017 M07 28 - 479 pages Walter Kaufmann devoted his life to exploring the religious implications of literary and philosophical texts. Deeply skeptical about the human and moral benets of modern secularism, he also criticized the quest for certainty pursued through dogma.
