Product Description
by Arthur James Balfour (Author)
The book ""Theism and Humanism: Being the Gifford Lectures, 1914"" was written by Arthur James Balfour and published in 1915. It is a collection of lectures that were delivered by the author as part of the Gifford Lectures series at the University of Edinburgh in 1914. In this book, Balfour explores the relationship between theism and humanism, two philosophical concepts that have been debated for centuries. He argues that theism, which is the belief in a divine being or God, is essential for understanding the nature of the universe and our place in it. He also examines the role of humanism, which emphasizes the importance of human values and ethics, in shaping our understanding of the world.Throughout the book, Balfour presents a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of these two philosophical concepts, drawing on a wide range of sources and ideas from both religious and secular traditions. He explores questions such as the nature of morality, the existence of free will, and the relationship between science and religion.Overall, ""Theism and Humanism"" is a highly influential work in the field of philosophy and theology, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and thinkers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
