Bodies and Souls, or Spirited Bodies?
ISBN: 9780521676762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Are humans composed of a body and a nonmaterial mind or soul, or are we purely physical beings? Opinion is sharply divided over this issue. In this clear and concise book, Nancey Murphy argues for a physicalist account, but one that does not diminish traditional views of humans as rational, moral, and capable of relating to God. This position is motivated not only by developments in science and philosophy, but also by biblical studies and Christian theology. The reader is invited to appreciate the ways in which organisms are more than the sum of their parts. That higher human capacities such...

Beyond Liberalism and Fundamentalism
ISBN: 9781563381768 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) American Protestant Christianity is often described as a two-party system divided into liberals and conservatives. This book clarifies differences between the intellectual positions of these two groups by advancing the thesis that the philosophy of the modern period is largely responsible for the polarity of Protestant Christian thought. A second thesis is that the modern philosophical positions driving the division between liberals and conservatives have themselves been called into question. It therefore becomes opportune to ask how theology ought to be done in a postmodern era, and to...

A Philosophy of the Christian Religion: Conflict, Faith, and Human Life
ISBN: 9780664263287 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Each field of study comes with its own set of questions; each period of time refines and redirects those questions. The Christian religion as we find it in the twenty-first century presents a unique set of problems to be solved and questions to be answered. In this comprehensive discussion of the philosophy of the Christian religion, eminent philosopher and theologian Nancey Murphy applies the tools of philosophical analysis to a set of core yet contemporary religious questions: what does our historical moment mean for the possibility of knowing God? Is faith still possible? Does God... Each field of study comes with its own set of questions; each period of time refines and redirects those questions. The Christian religion as we fi... |

A collection of essays by experts in the field, exploring how nature works at every level to produce more complex and highly organized objects, systems, and organisms from much simpler components, and how our increasing understanding of this universal phenomenon of emergence can lead us to a deeper and richer appreciation of who we are as human beings and of our relationship to God. Several chapters introduce the key philosophical ideas about reductionism and emergence, while others explore the fascinating world of emergent phenomena in physics, biology, and the neurosciences. Finally there...

Human Identity at the Intersection of Science, Technology and Religion
ISBN: 9781409410508 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Humans are unique in their ability to reflect on themselves. Recently a number of scholars have pointed out that human self-conceptions have a history. Ideas of human nature in the West have always been shaped by the interplay of philosophy, theology, science, and technology. The fast pace of developments in the latter two spheres (neuroscience, genetics, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering) call for fresh reflections on what it means, now, to be human, and for theological and ethical judgments on how we might shape our own destiny in the future. The leading scholars in this book...

Did My Neurons Make Me Do It?: Philosophical and Neurobiological Perspectives on Moral Responsibility and Free Will
ISBN: 9780199568239 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. If humans are purely physical, and if it is the brain that does the work formerly assigned to the mind or soul, then how can it fail to be the case that all of our thoughts and actions are determined by the laws of neurobiology? If this is the case, then free will, moral responsibility, and, indeed, reason itself would appear to be in jeopardy. Nancey Murphy and Warren S. Brown here defend a non-reductive version of physicalism whereby humans are (sometimes) the authors of their own thoughts and actions.

ISBN: 9781608993994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Description: Technologies are deeply embedded in the modern West. What would our lives be like without asphalt, glass, gasoline, electricity, window screens, or indoor plumbing? We naturally praise technology when it is useful and bemoan it when it is not. But there is much more to technology than the usefulness of this or that artifact. Unfortunately, we tend not to consider the inherently social and moral character of technology. As a result, we are prone to overlook the effects of technology on our spiritual lives. This book investigates the role technology plays in helping and hampering...
