Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judgment as Belief At the end of our first advance toward the realization of a belief in the existence Of external Objects present to the senses, we have the conviction that, in such and such circumstances, we should have such and such sensations. But the mind does not stop here. The sensation that, under certain conditions, I believe I may have, is an effect that owes its existence to a still more fundamental existence acting as its cause. And by association which Obtains irresistibly between cause and effect, we are carried beyond the sensations that fuse to make the rose of our ideas, to the corresponding qualities that cause these sensations, and that inhere in a single object or substratum which unites them as the mind did the several sensations, but with the result that we have a real objective rose. That this is the genesis and essence Of a sense Object, and a sufficient apology for our ardent belief in it, Mill stands ready to prove with the best of illustrations.

Download or read book The Birth of Modern Belief written by Ethan H. Shagan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating history of how religious belief lost its uncontested status in the West This landmark book traces the history of belief in the Christian West from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, revealing for the first time how a distinctively modern category of belief came into being. Ethan Shagan focuses not on what people believed, which is the normal concern of Reformation history, but on the more fundamental question of what people took belief to be. Shagan shows how religious belief enjoyed a special prestige in medieval Europe, one that set it apart from judgment, opinion, and the evidence of the senses. But with the outbreak of the Protestant Reformation, the question of just what kind of knowledge religious belief was—and how it related to more mundane ways of knowing—was forced into the open. As the warring churches fought over the answer, each claimed belief as their exclusive possession, insisting that their rivals were unbelievers. Shagan challenges the common notion that modern belief was a gift of the Reformation, showing how it was as much a reaction against Luther and Calvin as it was against the Council of Trent. He describes how dissidents on both sides came to regard religious belief as something that needed to be justified by individual judgment, evidence, and argument. Brilliantly illuminating, The Birth of Modern Belief demonstrates how belief came to occupy such an ambivalent place in the modern world, becoming the essential category by which we express our judgments about science, society, and the sacred, but at the expense of the unique status religion once enjoyed.

Download or read book Value Judgement written by James Griffin and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1998-01-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Griffin asks how, and how much, we can improve our ethical standards not lift our behaviour closer to our standards but refine the standards themselves. To give an answer to this question it is necessary to answer most of the questions of ethics. So Value Judgement includes discussion of what a good life is like, where the boundaries of the `natural world' come, how values relate to that world, how great human capacitiesthe ones important to ethicsare, and where moral norms come from. Throughout the book the question of what philosophy can contribute to ethics repeatedly arises. Philosophical traditions, such as most forms of utilitarianism and deontology and virtue ethics, are, Griffin contends, too ambitious. Ethics cannot be what philosophers in those traditions expect it to be because agents cannot be what their philosophies need them to be. This clear, compelling, and original account of ethics will be of interest to anyone concerned with thinking about values: not only philosophers but legal, political, and economic theorists as well.

Download or read book Another Gospel written by Alisa Childers and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This may be the most influential book you will read this year.” —Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Miracles A Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. After everything she had ever believed about God, Jesus, and the Bible had been picked apart, she found herself at the brink of despair . . . until God rescued her, helping her to rebuild her faith, one solid brick at a time. In a culture of endless questions, you need solid answers. If you or someone you love has encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity and aren’t sure how to respond, Alisa’s journey will show you how to determine—and rest in—what’s unmistakably true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief Element in Judgment: A Dissertation But we cannot trace a Meaning before we have oriented it. If, therefore, we are to make an intelligent search for belief in judg ment, we must first fix upon what is venerally conceived to be its nature. Moreover, should belief he found in Judgment; if it does for judgment What we have a sumed; if, that is, it shows that thinkins has for its whole business the illumining of the particular phenome non of then, it implies a reference to reality, and means at the same time the satisfaction of some inner demand- some demand of the Bro. How, indeed, would it alter abstract, barren thought to find it contained belief, if belief had its whole meaning in an immediate experience9 It would afford no proof that thought accommodates itself to growing experience, and is not made up of static universals that 1reep aloof from developing nature. Were it all told when we say that belief is a feelinn or sensation, then, belief would have no sirnificance in judgment one way or the other, either rationally or empirically.
