From Morality to Metaphysics offers an argument for the existence of God, based on our most fundamental moral beliefs. Angus Ritchie engages with a range of the most significant secular moral philosophers of our time, and argues that they all face a common difficulty which only theism can overcome.

Furthermore, when humans engage in practical... From Morality to Metaphysics offers an argument for the existence of God, based on our most fundamental moral beliefs.

Lew Skannon

I wouldn't want you jumping to conclusions about me. I was born in sunny Saltcoats and raised in the equally sunny Southern Florida. Saltcoats is a small town nestling on the West Coast of Scotland and Florida is, well, Florida is perhaps a little better known. I was bullied as a child to the point I assumed it to be quite normal behaviour, but that doesn't happen any more, not since mum took up with Jack. I wasn't always Lew Skannon, but took Jack's name when he and mum got married in an effort to disassociate myself from my violent old man. Jack...

ISBN: 9781841764429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
