In this, he differed from the way science and even traditional religion understand existence and human life. Ervast was a pioneer of the Finnish movement and left an extensive literary output. Moreover, he had a significant impact on Finnish social and cultural life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe motto of the Theosophical Society is There is no religion higher than truth. Ervast also expressed this as Truth is the highest virtue. In this way, he emphasized the absolute ethical basis of spiritual life.","brand":"Ruusu-Ristin Kirjallisuusseura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57938820235599,"sku":"9789529603718","price":53.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9789529603718_1-truth-is-the-highest-virtue.jpg?v=1781619464","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/truth-is-the-highest-virtue","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
