Book Description
Too smart to believe in God? The twelve philosophers in this book are too smart not to, and their finely honed reasoning skills and advanced educations are on display as they explain their reasons for believing in Christianity and entering the Roman Catholic Church. Among the twelve converts are well-known professors and writers including Peter Kreeft, Edward Feser, J. Budziszewski, Candace Vogler, and Robert Koons. Each story is unique; yet each one details the various perceptible ways God drew these lovers of wisdom to himself and to the Church. In every case, reason played a primary role. It had to, because being a Catholic philosopher is no easy task when the majority of one's colleagues thinks that religious faith is irrational. Although the reasonableness of the Catholic faith captured the attention of these philosophers and cleared a space into which the seed of supernatural faith could be planted, in each of these essays the attentive reader will find a fully human story. The contributions are not merely collections of arguments; they are stories of grace.

Kant: Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason
Author: Immanuel Kant
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521599641
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason is a key element of the system of philosophy which Kant introduced with his Critique of Pure Reason, and a work of major importance in the history of Western religious thought. It represents a great philosopher's attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion that would be grounded in moral reason and would meet the needs of ethical life. It includes sharply critical and boldly constructive discussions on topics not often treated by philosophers, including such traditional theological concepts as original sin and the salvation or 'justification' of a sinner, and the idea of the proper role of a church. This volume presents it and three short essays that illuminate it in new translations by Allen Wood and George di Giovanni, with an introduction by Robert Merrihew Adams that locates it in its historical and philosophical context.

Illusionary Existence, Genesis, and Other Miscellaneous Works
Author: Adam Rutherford
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059546694X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Simply, Illusionary Existence, Genesis, and Other Miscellaneous Works is intended to provoke thought in all who read it. From existentialistic philosophy, to religion, and onward to several other discourses in regards to certain points of view in everyday life, I explore certain possibilities and make a couple arguments towards particular topics. There are numerous ways in which thought can be provoked, and for the discourses that are contained within the pages of this book, I have chosen the specific provocations for them because of what I want people to think about without telling them directly what they should think about. Every discourse contained in this book is, in some way or another, relative and connected to one another. Thusly, they are not exactly random, though sometimes they may seem that way. These discourses were also written in a way so that most, if not all, people are able to understand what is being written while still provoking thought.
