It does not cover any Eastern religions. It will appeal to those who are simply interested in the topic; those teaching the topic who want fresh ideas on how to explain the Philosophy of Religion, or those wanting to take an A level qualification in Philosophy.

These new tools offered a new explanation of Nature, of the world and of our place within it. They provided a method to understand reality.
