Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bishop Butler The publication within the last five years of two elaborate, and even sumptuous, editions of Bishop Butler´s works seems to prove that they have still an interest for the reading public. Nor is it surprising that this should be the case. There is much in the temper and methods of our author which falls in with the needs of our own time and suits its scientific spirit. With these larger and more elaborate editions the present work comes in no way into competition. Its object is twofold; first, to view Butler in his historical setting, - to see him in the light of the times in which he lived, the questions with which his thoughts were occupied, the controversies in which he bore so leading a part. On this side this little book merely attempts in a limited field what all history aims at on a larger scale. But, in the second place, an endeavour has been made to appraise the value of Butler´s contributions to English thought, to separate the solid and permanent element in his writings from the more or less ephemeral and transitory, to determine what lessons of abiding interest for our own day his works contain.
