Excerpt from The Problem of Theism, and Other Essays
For the general philosophical standpoint that I have adopted I am chiefly indebted to the writings of the late Professor Sidgwick. The Hon. Bertrand Russell, f.rs., and Mr. A. H. Moberly have helped me with valuable criticisms in connection with several of the essays - Mr. Russell, in particular, having very kindly read the whole of my manuscript; and Mr. J. M. Keynes and the Rev. J. R. P. Sclater have made useful suggestions upon special points. I need hardly say that the spirit of the whole book is.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of reality beyond the world of appearances, exploring the philosophical argument that there is an independent reality that exists outside of our perception. The author examines two opposing lines of reasoning against this idea: one that claims there is no reality beyond our own mental states, and another that argues that the perceiver and the factors with which they interact are so closely intertwined that neither can be understood apart from the other. The author refutes both arguments, concluding that there is indeed an independent reality. The book further investigates the nature of this independent reality, discussing whether it consists of body alone, spirit alone, or a combination of both, and examines the concept of Christian Theism, ultimately asserting that the existence of an Omnipotent God is not incompatible with the existence of evil. The author argues that belief in human nality is not based on evidence drawn from human works, but rather on our own experience of nality and our observation of similarities between ourselves and others. Thought-provoking and engaging, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the nature of reality and the existence of God.
