About this title

Synopsis

Some Brief Considerations on the claim that knowledge of God comes from ideas of reflection challenges the view that spiritual truth can be fully reached by inward thought alone.

This edition examines arguments that such reflexion cannot yield certain knowledge of God and explores how language, perception, and analogy shape our understanding of the divine.

The text argues that human reason has limits, and that clear, demonstrable knowledge about God may require more than internal contemplation. It surveys how theories about perception, creation, and the relation between mind and world test the possibility of knowing the divine through reflexion alone. Readers will see a careful critique of major philosophical positions, with attention to how arguments are constructed and what counts as evidence.

how ideas of reflexion relate to perception and the existence of spiritual reality
the role of language and instruction in shaping knowledge claims
the limits of human understanding when approaching God and creation
how arguments are evaluated for proof versus probability

Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas who want a clear, critical view of how knowledge of God has been argued and contested.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
