Synopsis

""An Inquiry Into The Popular Notion Of An Unoriginated, Infinite, And Eternal Prescience"" is a philosophical work published in 1828 by James Jones. The book delves into the concept of prescience, or the ability to know future events, and challenges the popular notion that prescience is an unoriginated, infinite, and eternal quality. Jones argues that the idea of an eternal prescience is flawed and contradicts the principles of causality and contingency. He suggests that prescience must have a cause and origin, and that it cannot be infinite or eternal as it is dependent on the existence of events and objects in the world. The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring a different aspect of the concept of prescience. Jones draws on various philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments, including the works of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Descartes. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Popular Notion Of An Unoriginated, Infinite, And Eternal Prescience"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that invites readers to question their assumptions about the nature of prescience and its relationship to time and causality.For The Purpose Of Ascertaining Whether That Doctrine Be Supported By The Dictates Of Reason, And The Writings Of The Old And New Testaments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
