And to my astonishment, when I began seriously studying other traditions, I began to realize that belief -- which we make such a fuss about today -- is only a very recent religious enthusiasm that surfaced only in the West, in about the 17th century.
I na moje čuđenje, kad sam počela ozbiljno proučavati druge tradicije, Počela sam shvaćati da je vjera – o kojoj danas dižemo toliku prašinu – samo vrlo nedavan religijski entuzijazam koji se raširo samo na Zapadu, okvirno u 17. stoljeću.
