Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dialogues on Metaphysics and on Religion Besides containing the best exposition Malebranche has left us of his philosophical system, the Entretiens sur la M etaphysique form one of the most exquisitely written of philosophical books in any language. A translation cannot, of course, be e'xpected to retain either the subtle elegance or all the delicate shades of meaning that delight a reader of the original. But Mr. Ginsberg has contrived, I think, to give the English reader a faithful render ing of the author's thought, and it is matter for congratulation that a work of so much significance in the history of speculation should at length have found a scholar willing to undertake the labour of translating it into our tongue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion a Dialogue, and Other Essays As a third edition of this little volume is called for, I have taken the opportunity of adding two more Essays: the brief dialogue on The Failure of Philosophy, and some Observa tions on The Metaphysics of Fine Art. The latter Essay Is a rendering of such portions of a chapter in the original, entitled Zur Metaphysik des Schema, as appear to be gene rally interesting and easily intelligible. The chief statement of Schopenhauer's view of Art is to be found in his large work; but as he gives a short essay in his Parerga, I have thought it well to include it in this selection.

Download or read book Religion and Reality written by James Henry Tuckwell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and Reality: A Study in the Philosophy of Mysticism The following pages are the result of many years of careful, persistent, and, so far as possible, unbiassed and unfettered thinking on the subject of religion, in the course of which the writer found his mind, steadily, by a sort of compulsion or immanent dialectical necessity, advance, from the strict orthodoxy of one of the evangelical Christian churches into which he was born, to that universal and inclusive view of religion presented by what may appropriately be termed philosophical mysticism. And by philosophical mysticism is here meant that whole attitude of mind towards religion which results from a discovery of its rational basis and justification where it reaches its highest development in the experience of the genuine mystic. Consequently, he is not without hope that what he has here written may find some measure of sympathetic response in the minds and hearts of other thinkers who also may be engaged in the like earnest and strenuous pursuit of fundamental religious truth. For may it not, without presumption, be taken for granted, that what has met the deepest felt needs and the highest religious hopes of one sincere inquirer after ultimate truth in religion, may prove of interest, if not even of value and assistance, to others whose religious needs and aspirations are similar to his own? It may, however, be well to remind the reader that within the limits of so comparatively brief a treatise as the present, there are necessarily many interesting questions and important themes that could only be glanced at in passing, though in themselves worthy of much fuller development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up to date, high-level exchange on God in a uniquely productive style. Readers witness a contemporary version of a classic debate, as two professional philosophers seek to learn from each other while making their cases for their distinct positions. In their dialogue, Joshua Rasmussen and Felipe Leon examine classical and cutting-edge arguments for and against a theistic explanation of general features of reality. The book also provides original lines of thought based on the authors’ own contributions to the field, and offers a productive and innovative inquiry into on one of the biggest questions people ask: what is the ultimate explanation of things?

Download or read book Philosophy of Religion for a New Century written by Jeremiah Hackett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy of Religion for a New Century represents the work of nineteen scholars presented at a conference in honor of Eugene T. Long at the University of South Carolina, April 5-6, 2002. This volume is a good example of philosophy in dialogue; there is both respect and genuine disagreement. First, an account of our present situation in the Philosophy of Religion is given, leading to a discussion of the very idea of a 'Christian Philosophy' and the coherence of the traditional concept of God. The implications of science and a concern for the environment in our concepts of God are carefully examined. A discussion follows on the possibility of speech about God and silence about God. Since much of modern European philosophy is concerned with the `Death of God' theme, the positions of Nietzsche and some of his twentieth-century interpreters are presented. There are presentations on Feminist Approaches to Philosophy of Religion, and Comparative Religion is examined in relation to cultures and the demands of rationality. The volume concludes with a critical dialogue on the relation of Religious Discourse to the Public Sphere. Developing global awareness has led to significant change in the Philosophy of Religion. One-dimensional approaches have given way to honest dialogue. The traditional boundaries between the secular and the religious have shifted, and new approaches to traditional problems are required. This volume presents examples of these new approaches.

Download or read book Conversations in Metaphysics written by Eileen Marie Connor and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations in Metaphysics: Ever Ancient, Ever New introduces students to metaphysics through a set of contemporary readings based on classical metaphysical texts, thinkers, and concepts. It challenges readers to consider and seek possible answers to questions of metaphysics relative to human knowledge and the nature of reality. Organized historically, the readings endeavor to define and probe the concepts of metaphysics, existence, being, God, evil, and morality from antiquity to the present. The historical lens provides students with deeper context for the contemporary readings and helps them establish a basic knowledge of metaphysics and its place within philosophical tradition. In later readings, students are invited to explore how metaphysics relates to religion, science, and technology in the modern world, as well as how metaphysics has shaped and continues to shape the reality of our universe. Rich with engaging material and endless opportunities for critical thought, Conversations in Metaphysics is an ideal ancillary text for courses in philosophy that call attention to metaphysics and philosophy of religion.

Download or read book Religion Metaphysics and the Postmodern written by Christopher Ben Simpson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Desmond's original and creative work in metaphysics is attracting more and more attention from philosophers of religion. Putting Desmond in conversation with John D. Caputo, an important philosopher of religion from the Continental tradition, Christopher Ben Simpson casts new light on Desmond's complex, multifaceted, and nuanced thought. The comparative approach allows Simpson to get at the core of recent debates in the philosophy of religion. He develops a rich understanding of how ethics and religion are informed by metaphysics, and contrasts this approach to the decidedly anti-metaphysical stance in Continental philosophy. Religion, Metaphysics, and the Postmodern presents a systematic analysis of Desmond's thought as it advances work on Caputo's thinking and on the philosophy of religion.

Download or read book An Introduction Dialogues of Plato Classic Reprint written by W. Sewell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction Dialogues of Plato I cannot but fear that in some places opinions have been here expressed in too decided' a tone; which, however, was naturally suggested by the authoritative character of a Review. But I should deeply regret, if any thing I wrote tended to encourage in young students a habit of presumptuous dogmatism, or of pronouncing too positively, except where the state ments put forward are declarations of a higher and competent authority. In this case, to hesitate and falter is to abandon our first duty, both as men and as Christians, of witnessing boldly to the truth. As these remarks have already been made the subject of various misconceptions and censures on their first appearance, I may be permitted to say, that in publishing them I had no wish to supersede religion by metaphysics, or Christianity by Plato nism, or the Church of England by Popery. I have endeavoured to take every opportunity of warning the young reader against removing philosophy from its proper place of subordination to Revelation and the Church; and to distinguish carefully between that Catholicism which is essential to Christianity, and of which the Church of England makes its boast, and Popery, which in its real nature is most un catholic, and little but the spirit of Dissent under the form of a Church.

Download or read book Classical Theism written by Jonathan Fuqua and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a contemporary account of classical theism. It features 17 original essays from leading scholars that advance the discussion of classical theism in new and interesting directions. It’s safe to say that classical theism—the view that God is simple, omniscient, and the greatest possible being—is no longer the assumed view in analytic philosophy of religion. It is often dismissed as being rooted in outdated metaphysical systems of the sort advanced by ancient and medieval philosophers. The main purpose of this volume is twofold: to provide a contemporary account of what classical theism is and to advance the scholarly discussion about classical theism. In Section I, the contributors offer a clear and cutting-edge account of the nature and existence of the God and the historical and theological foundations of classical theism. Section II contains chapters on a variety of topics, such as whether classical theism’s doctrine of simplicity needs revision, whether simplicity is compatible with the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, and whether the hypothesis of a multiplicity of divine ideas is consistent with divine simplicity, among others. Classical Theism will appeal to scholars and advanced students in the philosophy of religion who are interested in the nature of God.
