In Gods We Trust: The Evolutionary Landscape of Religion
ISBN: 9780195178036 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This ambitious, interdisciplinary book seeks to explain the origins of religion using our knowledge of the evolution of cognition. A cognitive anthropologist and psychologist, Scott Atran argues that religion is a by-product of human evolution just as the cognitive intervention, cultural selection, and historical survival of religion is an accommodation of certain existential and moral elements that have evolved in the human condition.

ISBN: 9780195308143 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When people encounter an argument for or against God's existence, it often raises more questions than it answers. In Letters to Doubting Thomas, C.

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Religion
ISBN: 9780195331356 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The philosophy of religion as a distinct discipline is an innovation of the last two hundred years, but its central topics--the existence and nature of the divine, humankind's relation to it, the nature of religion and its place in human life--have been with us since the inception of philosophy. Philosophers have long critically examined the truth of (and rational justification for) religious claims, and have explored such philosophically interesting phenomena as faith, religious experience and the distinctive features of religious discourse. The second half of the twentieth-century has been...

The God of the Philosophers
ISBN: 9780198249689 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This provocative book examines some of the principal attributes traditionally ascribed to God in western theism, particularly omniscience and omnipotence. From his discussion of a number of related topics, including a comprehensive treatment of the problem of the relations between divine foreknowledge and human freedom, Kenny concludes that there can be no such being as the God of traditional natural theology.

Can God Be Free?
ISBN: 9780198250456 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can God Be Free? is a penetrating study of a central problem in philosophy of religion: can it be right to regard God as free, and as praiseworthy for being perfectly good? Allowing that he has perfect knowledge and perfect goodness, if there is a best world for God to create he would have no choice other than to create it. But if God could not do otherwise than create the best world, he created the world of necessity, not freely, and we have no reason to be thankful to God for creating us, since he couldn't do otherwise. William Rowe proposes the need for some substantial revision in...

Origen and the Life of the Stars: A History of an Idea
ISBN: 9780198263616 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the days of antiquity to the time of the Middle Ages, intellectuals have widely assumed that stars were alive, a belief that gave the cosmos an important position not only in Greek religion, but also in discussions of human psychology and eschatology. In the third century AD, the Christian theologian Origen included such Hellenistic theories on the life and nature of the stars in his cosmology, a theory that would have important implications for early Christian theology. Moving through a wide range of Greek, Latin, and Oriental sources from antiquity to medieval times, this is the first...

Revelation: From Metaphor to Analogy
ISBN: 9780199212477 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The great religions often claim that their books or creeds contain truths revealed by God. How could we know that they do? In the second edition of Revelation, renowned philosopher of religion Richard Swinburne addresses this central question. But since the books of great religions often contain much poetry and parable, Swinburne begins by investigating how eternal truth can be conveyed in unfamiliar genres, by analogy and metaphor, within false presuppositions about science and history. In the final part of the book, Swinburne then applies the results of Parts I and II to assessing the...

Developmental Theism: From Pure Will to Unbounded Love
ISBN: 9780199214587 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A work of speculative theology based on three themes: that a version of materialism is a help not a hindrance in philosophical theology; that God develops; and that this development is on the whole kenotic, in other words an abandonment of power. It argues that the resulting kenotic theism might well be correct.

The Re-Enchantment of the World: Art Versus Religion
ISBN: 9780199265961 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing
ISBN: 9780199270507 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The question "Why is there something rather than nothing"? has a strong claim to be philosophy's central, and most perplexing, question; it has a capacity to set the head spinning which few other philosophical problems can rival. Bede Rundle challenges the stalemate between theistic and naturalistic explanations with a rigorous, properly philosophical approach, and presents some startlingly novel conclusions.

The Existence of God
ISBN: 9780199271672 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Swinburne presents a substantially rewritten and updated edition of his most celebrated book. No other work has made a more powerful case for the probability of the existence of God. Swinburne argues compellingly that the existence of the universe, its law-governed nature and fine-tuning, human consciousness and moral awareness, and evidence of miracles and religious experience, all taken together (and despite the occurrence of pain and suffering), make it likely that there is a God.

The God of Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780199283040 / Angielski / Twarda / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can philosophy offer reasonable grounds for the existence of a God as the center of actual faith, rather than just a theoretical Absolute? Timothy Sprigge offers a fascinating exploration of the metaphysical systems of a diverse range of philosophers, from Spinoza and Hegel to T. H. Green and Josiah Royce, testing objections to what might be called "metaphysical religion" against the systems of these distinguished thinkers. In the process, Sprigge offers a compelling new defense of a highly unfashionable Idealist worldview.

Important elements of his system are elaborated only in the lectures, especially those given in Berlin during the last decade of his life.

ISBN: 9780199283927 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Swinburne presents a new edition of one of his classic works on philosophical theology. Faith and Reason is a self-standing examination of the implications for religious faith of Swinburne's famous arguments about the coherence of theism and the existence of God. Swinburne analyzes the purposes of practicing a religion, and argues that religious faith requires belief that a particular creed provides the rationale for supposing that these purposes will be achieved. While maintaining the same structure and conclusions as the original, this second edition has been substantially...
