Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REASON OR REVELATION ; WHICH? THE KEY NOTE. "It is lawful for man to search after truth in any realm. Reason was given him that he might investigate all things, to the end that truth should appear. It is superstition that hinders man from looking into any manifestation of nature or human nature, and having seen its effects, learning if possible its cause. The mistakes that many make is in placing reason and science above intuition and revelation. There can be no exercise of reason unless the spirit of man is inspired, or intuitively drawn into reasoning, and there can be no knowledge of science save through a direct revelation of that science to some person. Cold, calm, uninspired reason is the marble statue compared with the living body : in one you see all there is ; in the other are possibilities undreamed of by those who are guided by reason alone. "Reason is bounded and circumscribed by the brain of man; intuition, which is the reasoning faculty of the spirit, is boundless in its possibilities; hence when man attempts to act from reason alone, he is acting independent of and disconnected from all divine things, and his teachings and life have little or no effect ; since, if there be no spiritual fountain from which reason draws a supply, it can have no enduring influence on men or things. It was my practice to use my reason on all occasions, and to pray that my reason might be enlightened and inspired by divine wisdom, and I often found that reason was left far in the background, and intuition led me into realms of revealed thought which reason alone could never have reached." - William Ellery Channing (spirit-voiced).

Download or read book The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge written by Dallas Willard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an unfinished manuscript by the late philosopher Dallas Willard, this book makes the case that the 20th century saw a massive shift in Western beliefs and attitudes concerning the possibility of moral knowledge, such that knowledge of the moral life and of its conduct is no longer routinely available from the social institutions long thought to be responsible for it. In this sense, moral knowledge—as a publicly available resource for living—has disappeared. Via a detailed survey of main developments in ethical theory from the late 19th through the late 20th centuries, Willard explains philosophy’s role in this shift. In pointing out the shortcomings of these developments, he shows that the shift was not the result of rational argument or discovery, but largely of arational social forces—in other words, there was no good reason for moral knowledge to have disappeared. The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge is a unique contribution to the literature on the history of ethics and social morality. Its review of historical work on moral knowledge covers a wide range of thinkers including T.H Green, G.E Moore, Charles L. Stevenson, John Rawls, and Alasdair MacIntyre. But, most importantly, it concludes with a novel proposal for how we might reclaim moral knowledge that is inspired by the phenomenological approach of Knud Logstrup and Emmanuel Levinas. Edited and eventually completed by three of Willard’s former graduate students, this book marks the culmination of Willard’s project to find a secure basis in knowledge for the moral life.

Download or read book On First Principles written by Origen and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origen’s On First Principles is a foundational work in the development of Christian thought and doctrine: it is the first attempt in history at a systematic Christian theology. For over a decade it has been out of print with only expensive used copies available; now it is available at an affordable price and in a more accessible format. On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity. Readers see Origen grappling with the mysteries of salvation and brainstorming how they can be understood. This edition presents G. W. Butterworth’s trusted translation in a new, more readable format, retains the introduction by Henri de Lubac, and includes a new foreword by John C. Cavadini. As St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, wrote: “Origen is the stone on which all of us were sharpened.”
