Katsnelson Summary This book contains a comparative analysis of scientific and traditional religious concepts that concern the problems which are most actual in the end of millennium (criteria of verity, nature of space and time, consciousness and physical universe, relation of brain and soul, origin and end of the world etc.). Being well-known specialists in the field of theoretical physics, the authors present in a popular form the recent information about progress in the modern science. On the other hand, they extensively use and cite the most important religious, philosophical and esoteric texts, including ones which are hardly accessible for the reader. A review of buddhistic philosophy, occult teachings etc. is given. The role of symbols and laws in the science and religion is investigated. When discussing the difficult scientific and spiritual questions, the authors do not lose a sense of humour. The magistral aim of the book is to give rise to the personal understanding of each reader by objective demonstrating various (especially traditional) points of view. The book may serve as a rich source of miscellaneous information and facilitate spiritual growth for a wide readership. 1. . , . , , . , , ; , , . , , , , ... - , , , (., ). , ; , ( 10:27). - , ? - ... , , ( ). , , , , .
