Beyond Evolution: Human Nature and the Limits of Evolutionary Explanation
ISBN: 9780198242543 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 232 str.

O'Hear examines the nature of human self-consciousness, and argues that evolutionary theory cannot give a satisfactory account of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Surprising as it might have seemed not so long ago, in recent times religion has once again become a focus of lively debate. The exchanges between those for and against religion have, however, often thrown up heat, rather than light.

This volume contains essays based on the lectures. The topics covered include natural theology, for and against, miracles, the debates about Darwinism, spirituality,...

Experience, Explanation and Faith: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
ISBN: 9781138969308 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In this book Anthony O'Hear examines the reasons that are given for religious faith. His approach is firmly within the classical tradition of natural theology, but an underlying theme is the differences between the personal Creator of the Bible or the Koran and a God conceived of as the indeterminate ground of everything determinate. Drawing on several religious traditions and on the resources of contemporary philosophy, specific chapters analyse the nature of religious faith and of religious experience. They examine connections between religion and morality, and religion and human... In this book Anthony O'Hear examines the reasons that are given for religious faith.
