Opis

Fenelon was always approachable, and on his walks often conversed with those he chanced to meet. He loved to visit the peasants in their houses, interested himself in their joys and sorrows, and, to avoid paining them, accepted the simple gifts of their hospitality. During the War of the Spanish Succession the doors of his palace were open to all the poor who took refuge in Cambrai. The rooms and stairways were filled with them, and his gardens and vestibules sheltered their live stock. He is yet remembered in the vicinity of Cambrai and the peasants still give their children the name Fenelon, as that of a saint. The debate over the existence of God is one of the questions that has animated Western philosophy for thousands of years. In this engaging volume, Catholic theologian Francois Fenelon provides an overview of some of the most compelling arguments for and against the existence of God. A must-read for believers and skeptics alike.
