Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Freedom of Authority: Essays in Apologetics These current discussions of contemporary themes and thinkers are Essays in Apologetics. Apologetics is the philosophical defense or justification of Religion. It aims at vindicating the concrete rationality of the religious side of humanitys life. It attempts a critical refutation of all antagonistic world-views. It meets them in the open, on purely intellectual grounds, as to what is the most rational world-view - one that excludes and invalidates religion, or one that includes and validates it. The volume is a series of Studies, rather than a sustained thesis. Yet there runs through them all, the contention that nature and man are known truly, only when they are viewed as a process of objective Mind, realizing itself afresh in and through empirical conditions. Its fundamental object is to maintain the reasonableness of a man of modern culture frankly and earnestly worshiping in some form of "authoritative religion" - in any form, rather than in no form. Hence the persistent polemic against the "mechanical view" of the universe. This merely mechanical interpretation of Nature and man and his institutions is a metaphysical perversion of the mechanical theory, properly used in Science. It is not Science, but the bad metaphysics of some men of Science. It is the metaphysics of Naturalism and of rigid mechanical determinism, in which there can be no worthy place for the humanities. These Essays seek a world-view in which Art and Religion and Philosophy are seen to have valid functions for human weal.
