About this title

Synopsis

In "Examination Of Mr. W. H. Gillespie's Argument ... For The Existence Of A Great First Cause," Thomas Squire Barrett offers a detailed critique of William Honyman Gillespie's cosmological argument. Barrett meticulously dissects Gillespie's propositions, challenging the logical structure and underlying assumptions presented in Gillespie's work. This examination delves into the philosophical foundations of theism, exploring the complexities of arguing for the existence of a 'Great First Cause.' Barrett's analysis contributes to the broader discussion surrounding natural theology and the role of reason in matters of faith. This work remains relevant for those interested in the history of philosophical debates on the existence of God, the nuances of cosmological arguments, and the interplay between science, philosophy, and religious belief.
