Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay on Moral Freedom: To Which Is Attached, a Review of the Principles of Dr. Whitby and President Edwards on Free Will; And of Dr. Brown´s Theory of Causation and Agency Of the leading principles of the present Essay, you formerly did me the honour to express your approbation; and, since that time, I have had a public opportunity of perceiving more fully how exactly the views here given coincide with your own, so far as you deemed it necessary to examine the subject. Of the importance of the inquiry it is needless to say any thing. "The question about free will," says Dugald Stewart, "has furnished, in all ages and countries, inexhaustible matter of contention both to philosophers and divines. In the ancient schools of Greece, it is well known how generally and keenly it was agitated. Among the Mahometans, it constitutes one of the principal points of division between the followers of Omar and those of Ali; and among the ancient Jews, it was the subject of endless dispute between the Pharisees and Sadducees. It is scarcely necessary for me to add what violent controversies it has produced, and still continues to produce, in the Christian world." And it is not as a matter of curious speculation, that this subject has so deeply engaged the attention of men of all ages, sects, and countries.
