Do gods exist, and if so, what are they, where are they, and what do they want from us? What is the meaning of religion? Should you be afraid of death? Why is it and can it be overcome? These and many other equally important questions in this book are attempted to be answered by people known for their ability to think originally, to see in things and phenomena that which is not visible to others. Many of them can rightfully be called the best minds of humanity. Their points of view are very different, often diametrically opposed, but all very interesting. None of their definitions contains the final (most likely unattainable) truth, but each contains an answer that brings us at least a little closer to it. The publication is also published in the “Books of Wisdom” series under the title “Thoughts and Sayings of the Great. About gods, life and death."
