Is God Knowable? A clear argument that God can be known as a personal, self-conscious Spirit.

This work argues that knowledge of God is possible and meaningful, not just a theoretical hope. It engages science, philosophy, and religion to show why a personal God can enter into real relationship with finite creatures. Drawing on the history of religious thought in the East and West, it sets out why a personal, self-conscious divine presence is necessary to explain life, mind, and moral experience.

- Clarifies what “knowledge” of God can mean in a modern context
- contrasts impersonal and personal conceptions of the Divine
- traces how science, philosophy, and religion shape our view of God
- discusses ideas from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Brahmanism to illuminate the search for God

Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, theology, and the history of ideas who want a thoughtful, accessible discussion on whether and how God can be known.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

On all sides and in all forms it is continually cropping up. A negative answer has been given to it, in the interests of orthodoxy itself, and the arguments of the orthodox professor have been borrowed by the apostle of nescience, and made to serve as the foundation of a system, in which all our knowledge and experience are only the working out of equations by symbols which themselves remain unknown. A negative answer is given in the interests of science, on the plea that the solution of the problem is impossible, and attention given to it is sheer waste of time. A negative answer is given in the interests of philosophy, because it is said that the duty of philosophy, and its only task, is to elaborate into a system the general principles which are common to all the sciences, and thus to be the science of science. On the other hand, affirmative answers of many kinds have been given. One set of answers proceeds on the obliteration of all distinctions between God and the world, and God becomes a name synonymous with nature and with the universe.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical and scientific question of whether God can be known and understood by humans. The author argues that while science can provide valuable insights into the workings of the natural world, it has limitations when it comes to explaining the full range of human experience, particularly the existence and nature of a higher power. The author explores different perspectives on God, from the impersonal forces posited by science to the personal and relational God of faith. Through an analysis of history, literature, and personal experience, the book argues that the concept of God, as a distinct personal intelligence, is not only a valid but also a necessary component of human understanding. By examining the manifestations of personality throughout history, the author contends that the existence of a personal God is the most rational explanation for the complexities and wonders of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
