Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 6 of 8: Containing: I. Dissertation Concerning the End for Which God Created the World; II. Doctrine of Original Sin Defended; III. Observations Upon Particular Passages of Scripture; IV. Theological Questions
An ultimate end is that which the agent seeks in what he does, for its own sake: That he has respect to, as what he loves, values and takes pleasure in on its own account, and not merely as a means ofa further end. As when a man loves the taste of some particular sort of fruit, and is at pains and cost to obtain it, for the sake of the pleasure of that taste, which he values upon its own account, as he loves his own pleasure and not merely for the sake of any other good, which he supposes his enjoying that pleasure will be the means of.

The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 6 of 8: Containing (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound question of God's purpose in creating the world, a subject that has captivated thinkers for centuries. The author carefully explores the philosophical concepts of ultimate and chief ends, aiming to clarify the distinction between a goal sought for its own sake and one valued primarily as a means to another end. He then applies these concepts to the creation, arguing that God's ultimate end in creating the universe cannot be solely to derive benefit from his creation. The author's approach is grounded in reason and logic, carefully considering the implications of God's infinite perfection and immutability. He suggests that God's primary motivation for creation must be rooted in his own inherent goodness and glory, which find expression in the existence of the world. This exploration goes beyond the typical theological discussions of the time, diving deeper into the philosophical implications of divine attributes and actions, challenging readers to think critically about the nature of God and the meaning of creation. The book's insightful examination of God's ultimate end in creation offers a compelling framework for understanding the divine purpose, challenging traditional views and providing a fresh perspective on the relationship between God and the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
