Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century France, parents abandoned their children in overwhelming numbersup to 20 percent of live births in the Parisian area. The infants were left at state-run homes and were then transferred to rural wet nurses and foster parents. Their chances of survival were slim, but with alterations in state policy, economic and medical development, and changing attitudes toward children and the family, their chances had significantly improved by the end of the century. br>Rachel Fuchs has drawn on newly discovered archival sources and previously untapped documents of the Paris foundling home in order to depict the actual conditions of abandoned children and to reveal the bureaucratic and political response. This study traces the evolution of French social policy from early attempts to limit welfare to later efforts to increase social programs and influence family life. Abandoned Children illuminates in detail the family life of nineteenth-century French poor. It shows how French social policy with respect to abandoned children sought to create an economically useful and politically neutral underclass out of a segment of the population that might otherwise have been an economic drain and a potential political threat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is being a Christian a matter of faith for which there is no empirical evidence? Or are there empirical evidences that support this faith? Christian Faith for the Empirically Minded explores several subject areas that are empirically supportive. From cosmology to history, these themes are explored. The ideas link a creators mind that is revealed in communications to establish Christianity as a unique cultural tradition. Intended for inquiring minds, this approach does not require scientific knowledge although it seeks to be grounded in scientific thought.

Download or read book The Shape of the Past written by John Warwick Montgomery and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Montgomery contends that no one can "sit in a house by the side of the road and watch the world go by." Everyone is caught up in the flux of human life, and there is no naturalistic resting resting place within human history from which one can gain a universal, absolute perspective on man's life. Christianity is the only answer to this basic human predicament, for it claims, and by the resurrection backs up its claim, that there is a God and that He entered human history and revealed its essential nature.

Download or read book Religion and Radical Empiricism written by Nancy Frankenberry and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1987-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely in modern times has religion been associated with empiricism except to its own peril. This book represents a comprehensive and systematic effort to retrieve and develop the tradition of American religious empiricism for religious inquiry. Religion and Radical Empiricism offers a challenging account of how and why reflection on religious truth-claims must seek justification of those claims finally in terms of empirical criteria. Ranging through many of the major questions in philosophy of religion, the author weaves together a study of the varieties of empiricism in all its historical forms from Hume to Quine. She finds in James and Dewey; in Wieman, Meland, and Loomer of the Chicago School; in Whitehead; and in Abhidharma Buddhism constructive elements of a radically empirical approach to the controversial topic of religious experience. This work provides a strong counter-argument to critics of revisionary theism, to caricatures of philosophy as conversation, and to any collapse of the category of experience into its linguistic forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Professor Ramsey attempts to show how the concern of contemporary philosophy with language has implications for theology--its claims and apologetic, its problems and controversies. He argues that, far from being necessarily irreligious, logical empiricism provides us with a tool that can be of the greatest service to theology, making possible, between philosophy and theology, not only a new cooperation but a new venture altogether.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""In pleading for the biblical view of God and the world the author has mustered his materials with great care and has shown his readiness to address himself to critical issues."" --The Evangelical Quarterly ""For an understanding of the philosophical and theological viewpoint of contemporary fundamentalism this is probably the best available book. . . . Vigorous in both thought and style, it is a sturdy defense of the orthodox interpretation of biblical theism."" --Religious Book Club Bulletin ""The author submits a strong and convincing case for supernaturalistic theism. . . . He vigorously maintains that we have ample evidence for our confidence in supernatural revelation, miracles, a divinely-provided atonement, and the redemptive working of God in human history."" --Southern Presbyterian Journal Edward John Carnell was an ordained Baptist minister, born in Antigo, Wisconsin.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism written by Thomas Uebel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logical empiricism is a philosophical movement that flourished in the 1920s and 30s in Central Europe and in the 1940s and 50s in the United States. With its stated ambition to comprehend the revolutionary advances in the empirical and formal sciences of their day and to confront anti-modernist challenges to scientific reason itself, logical empiricism was never uncontroversial. Uniting key thinkers who often disagreed with one another but shared the aim to conceive of philosophy as part of the scientific enterprise, it left a rich and varied legacy that has only begun to be explored relatively recently. The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism is an outstanding reference source to this challenging subject area, and the first collection of its kind. Comprising 41 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the Handbook is organized into four clear parts: The Cultural, Scientific and Philosophical Context and the Development of Logical Empiricism Characteristic Theses of and Specific Issues in Logical Empiricism Relations to Philosophical Contemporaries Leading Post-Positivist Criticisms and Legacy Essential reading for students and researchers in the history of twentieth-century philosophy, especially the history of analytical philosophy and the history of philosophy of science, the Handbook will also be of interest to those working in related areas of philosophy influenced by this important movement, including metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.

Download or read book Faith, Reason, and Beyond Reason written by Mark J. Boone and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between faith and reason is multifaceted. Faith transcends reason in that it is more than reason alone can contain or fully guarantee, yet it is neither unreasonable nor something to which reason is irrelevant--and reason says some pretty fine things about it! This volume updates nine previously published articles on faith and reason by a Christian philosopher who has been studying these matters for two decades, alongside one new essay and a philosophical dialogue. These articles explain and integrate key ideas on faith and reason, including Alvin Plantinga's account of how Christian belief can be knowledge even without evidence; defenses of faith from Augustine and William James; accounts of empirical evidence for faith from different world religions; the distinction between faith and sight in the New Testament; the structure of the evidence for the authority of the Bible; the idea that faith transcends reason because some articles of faith are beyond human comprehension, even if we have evidence that they are true; and the nature of faith as a total commitment beyond what the evidence alone can guarantee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author maintains that suspciion can open up sapces for dialogue in apologetical encounter since both suspicion and biblical faith are concerned (in principle at least) with ruthfulness. She argues that suspicion is a 'scalpel' to faith because it can carry challenge and discomfort as well as insight and healing.
