Abstract
"We will explore the different conceptions of religion and spirituality from both secular and religious, confessional and philosophical perspectives. We will compare the new visions of post-modernity with the psychological view before investigating the contribution that the different currents of the transpersonal and integral approach can provide in a dialogical perspective of transcendence and inclusion of the different positions."
