Synopsis
Explore the roots of causality and religious truth in a careful, philosophy-minded study.
This nonfiction work investigates how we think about cause, will, and the divine, tracing how our minds perceive and classify the world. It blends cognitive analysis with theological reflection to illuminate how ideas of power, substance, and order arise in human thought.
Delving into the meaning of Will, the book examines how choosing between alternatives shapes our sense of cause. It also compares different notions of force, thing, and substance, and explains how language can shift our view of the world and of God as Cause. The discussion connects immediate perception with larger questions about the unity and duration of divine nature.
- How perception and thought frame our idea of cause and effect
- The varying meanings attributed to Will across philosophical writings
- distinctions among force, thing, and substance in causality
- How language and concepts relate to understanding God’s role as Cause
Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and 19th‑century speculative thought.
