Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of Denis Diderot's influential 1747 On the Sufficiency of Natural Religion (1746 De la suffisance de la religion naturelle). This edition contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophy, a timeline of his life and works, and a glossary of the philosophic topics which recur in his works. Diderot's "On the Sufficiency of Natural Religion" explores the role of reason and natural philosophy in understanding the world, arguing against the necessity of revealed religion. It challenges the prevailing religious doctrines of the time and emphasizes the capacity of human reason to comprehend and explain natural phenomena. Diderot's work had a significant impact on the Enlightenment movement and influenced other philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, who praised Diderot's ideas on the limits of natural religion and published a book specifically on this subject- his 1793 Religion within the Limits of Mere Reason.

Download or read book The Enlightenment: A Very Short Introduction written by John Robertson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A foundational moment in the history of modern European thought, the Enlightenment continues to be a reference point for philosophers, scholars and opinion-formers. To many it remains the inspiration of our commitments to the betterment of the human condition. To others, it represents the elevation of one set of European values to the world, many of whose peoples have quite different values. But what is the relationship between the historical Enlightenment and the idea of 'Enlightenment', and can these two understandings be reconciled? In this Very Short Introduction, John Robertson offers a concise historical introduction to the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement of eighteenth-century Europe. Discussing its intellectual achievements, he also explores how its supporters exploited new ways of communicating their ideas to a wider public, creating a new 'public sphere' for critical discussion of the moral, economic and political issues facing their societies. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Book Synopsis The Idea of Principles in Early Modern Thought by : Peter R. Anstey
Download or read book The Idea of Principles in Early Modern Thought written by Peter R. Anstey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents the first sustained examination of the nature and status of the idea of principles in early modern thought. Principles are almost ubiquitous in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: the term appears in famous book titles, such as Newton’s Principia; the notion plays a central role in the thought of many leading philosophers, such as Leibniz’s Principle of Sufficient Reason; and many of the great discoveries of the period, such as the Law of Gravitational Attraction, were described as principles. Ranging from mathematics and law to chemistry, from natural and moral philosophy to natural theology, and covering some of the leading thinkers of the period, this volume presents ten compelling new essays that illustrate the centrality and importance of the idea of principles in early modern thought. It contains chapters by leading scholars in the field, including the Leibniz scholar Daniel Garber and the historian of chemistry William R. Newman, as well as exciting, emerging scholars, such as the Newton scholar Kirsten Walsh and a leading expert on experimental philosophy, Alberto Vanzo. The Idea of Principles in Early Modern Thought: Interdisciplinary Perspectives charts the terrain of one of the period’s central concepts for the first time, and opens up new lines for further research.
Book Synopsis The Failure of Natural Theology by : Jeffrey D Johnson
Download or read book The Failure of Natural Theology written by Jeffrey D Johnson and published by New Studies in Theology Series. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's cosmological argument is the foundation of Aquinas's doctrine of God. For Thomas, the cosmological argument not only speaks of God's existence but also of God's nature. By learning that the unmoved mover is behind all moving objects, we learn something true about the essence of God-principally, that God is immobile. But therein lies the problem for Thomas. The Catholic Church had already condemned Aristotle's unmoved mover because, according to Aristotle, the unmoved mover is unable to be the moving cause (i.e., Creator) and governor of the universe-or else he would cease to be immobile. By seeking to baptize Aristotle into the Catholic Church, however, Thomas gave his life to seeking to explain how God can be both immobile and the moving cause of the universe. Thomas even looked to the pantheistic philosophy of Pseudo-Dionysius for help. But even with Dionysius's aid, Thomas failed to reconcile the god of Aristotle with the Trinitarian God of the Bible. If Thomas would have rejected the natural theology of Aristotle by placing the doctrine of the Trinity, which is known only by divine revelation, at the foundation of his knowledge of God, he would have rid himself of the irresolvable tension that permeates his philosophical theology. Thomas could have realized that the Trinity alone allows for God to be the only self-moving being-because the Trinity is the only being not moved by anything outside himself but freely capable of creating and controlling contingent things in motion.

Book Synopsis Reason, Grace, and Sentiment: Volume 2, Shaftesbury to Hume by : Isabel Rivers
Download or read book Reason, Grace, and Sentiment: Volume 2, Shaftesbury to Hume written by Isabel Rivers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume completes Isabel Rivers' widely acclaimed exploration of the relationship between religion and ethics from the mid-seventeenth to the later eighteenth centuries. She investigates the effect of attempts to separate ethics from religion, and to locate the foundation of morals in the constitution of human nature. Focusing on moral philosophy and the educational institutions in which (or in spite of which) these ideas were developed, the book pays close attention to the movement of ideas through the British Isles, in particular the spread of Shaftesbury's thought from England to Ireland and Scotland, and the varied reception of Hume's scepticism north and south of the border. It also demonstrates the enormous influence of Shaftesbury's moral thought and the ultimate triumph of the English interpretation of Shaftesbury with the rise of Butler. Meticulously researched and accessibly written, this volume makes a vital contribution to our understanding of eighteenth-century thought.
Book Synopsis Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion by : David Hume
Download or read book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion written by David Hume and published by . This book was released on 1779 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Through dialogue, three fictional characters named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes and how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence of God, and arguments whose proponents believe through which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from design - for which Hume uses a house - and whether there is more suffering or good in the world (Argument from evil)

Book Synopsis Common Sense Applied to Religion; Or, The Bible and the People by : Catharine Esther Beecher
Download or read book Common Sense Applied to Religion; Or, The Bible and the People written by Catharine Esther Beecher and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catharine Esther Beecher's work, 'Common Sense Applied to Religion; Or, The Bible and the People,' serves as a compelling examination of religious beliefs and practices in 19th-century America. Beecher employs a straightforward and practical writing style, making complex theological concepts accessible to a wide audience. The book delves into the intersecting realms of religion and society, emphasizing the role of individuals in interpreting and applying religious teachings in everyday life. Beecher's emphasis on the importance of reason and critical thinking in matters of faith reflects the influence of the Enlightenment era on her work. This book stands as a testament to Beecher's commitment to promoting religious literacy and encouraging personal reflection on spiritual matters. Beecher's own background as a prominent educator and social reformer likely informed her perspective on the relationship between religion and public life. Her deep insights and thoughtful analysis make this book a valuable resource for readers interested in exploring the complexities of religious belief in the American context.

Book Synopsis The Territories of Science and Religion by : Peter Harrison
Download or read book The Territories of Science and Religion written by Peter Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Harrison takes what we think we know about science and religion, dismantles it, and puts it back together again in a provocative new way. It is a mistake to assume, as most do, that the activities and achievements that are usually labeled religious and scientific have been more or less enduring features of the cultural landscape of the West. Harrison, by setting out the history of science and religion to see when and where they come into being and to trace their mutations over timereveals how distinctively Western and modern they are. Only in the past few hundred years have religious beliefs and practices been bounded by a common notion and set apart from the secular. And the idea of the natural sciences as discrete activities conducted in isolation from religious and moral concerns is even more recent, dating from the nineteenth century. Putting the so-called opposition between religion and science into historical perspective, as Harrison does here for the first time, has profound implications for our understanding of the present and future relations between them.
