Pantheism: A Lecture (1871)

Pantheism: A Lecture is a philosophical work written by James Harrison Rigg in 1871. The book explores the concept of pantheism, which is the belief that the universe and God are one and the same. Rigg delves into the history of pantheism, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek and Eastern philosophy. He also examines the differences between pantheism and other philosophical and religious beliefs, such as deism and atheism. The lecture highlights the various arguments for and against pantheism, including the idea that it is a form of idolatry and the notion that it is a more rational and scientific approach to understanding the universe. Rigg ultimately concludes that while pantheism has its flaws, it is a valuable philosophical concept that can help us better understand our place in the world. This book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
