Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Problem of Creation: An Attempt to Define the Character and Trend of the Cosmic Process By way of preface, I would draw attention to the limits I have imposed on myself in this attempt to grapple with the Problem of Creation, and to arrive at conclusions which may help to solve it. My argument is chiefly based on the postulate ex nihilo nihil - a postulate accepted by common sense, by science, and by most philosophy. (To certain thinkers who deny it I devote some special sections.) I take, as a master-key to the working of the cosmic process, the main principles brought to light by the evolution hypothesis - principles now accepted, not only by the vast majority of scientists and philosophers, but even by representative teachers of the Roman Catholic Church. Having vindicated these premisses, I ask what are the implications of the facts of experience when these are taken as directly as possible and in their entirety; and I contend that, if we are to be loyal to ex nihilo nihil, we must find for them an ultimate Ground which shall be at least adequate to them, however much it may transcend them; and that to this extent, at any rate, the Ground is not an Unknown or an Unconditioned. All Being and Becoming that fall within our experience must have in the Ground their Sufficient Reason, and therefore be a manifestation of the Nature of that Ground.
