Evil and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521797450 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Genocide in Rwanda, multiple murder in Denver or Dunblane, the gruesome activities of serial killers--what makes these great evils, and why do they occur? In addressing such questions this book interconnects contemporary moral philosophy with recent work in New Testament scholarship. The conclusions to emerge are surprising. Gordon Graham argues that the inability of modernist thought to account satisfactorily for evil and its occurrence should not lead us to embrace an eclectic postmodernism, but to take seriously some unfashionable premodern conceptions--Satan, demonic possession, spiritual...

The Re-Enchantment of the World: Art Versus Religion
ISBN: 9780199265961 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Re-enchantment of the World is a philosophical exploration of the role of art and religion as sources of meaning in an increasingly material world dominated by science. Gordon Graham takes as his starting point Max Weber's idea that contemporary Western culture is marked by a "disenchantment of the world"--the loss of spiritual value in the wake of religion's decline and the triumph of the physical and biological sciences. Relating themes in Hegel, Nietzsche, Schleiermacher, Schopenhauer, and Gadamer to topics in contemporary philosophy of the arts, Graham explores the idea that art, now...

Wittgenstein and Natural Religion
ISBN: 9780198713975 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Gordon Graham presents a radically innovative study of Wittgenstein's philosophy, in relation to the age-old impulse to connect ordinary human life with the transcendent reality of God. He offers an account of its relevance to the study of religion that is completely different to the standard version of "Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion" expounded by both its adherents and critics. Graham goes on to revitalize the philosophy of "true religion," an alternative, though not a rival, to the lively philosophical theology of Plantinga and Swinburne that currently dominates the subject. This...

ISBN: 9780907845744 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The fame of thinkers such as David Hume, Adam Smith and Thomas Reid has led to philosophy being widely acknowledged as the jewel in the intellectual crown of the Scottish Enlightenment. But the Scottish tradition of philosophy extends much further than the 18th century.

This collection of readings, the first of its kind, has been chosen with a view to displaying the variety, richness and strength of the Scottish...

The Shape of the Past: A Philosophical Approach to History
ISBN: 9780192892553 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can human history as a whole be interpreted in any meaningful way? Has there been real progress between stone age and space age? Does history repeat itself? Is there evidence of divine providence? Questions such as these have fascinated thinkers, and some of the greatest philosophers, notably Kant and Hegel, have turned their minds to philosophical history. As a branch of philosophy, however, it has received little attention in the analytical tradition. This pioneering work aims to bring the methods of analytical philosophy to the critical examination of some of these questions. In addition...
