Book Description
En una época saturada de dudas, ha echado raíces una forma agresiva de escepticismo, que ataca al cristianismo con especial venganza. Este escepticismo moderno, a diferencia de sus antecedentes clásicos, tiene menos que ver con una búsqueda genuina de la verdad y más con un rechazo predeterminado de la fe cristiana. Se envuelve en el lenguaje de la razón y la objetividad, pero sus argumentos a menudo revelan un sesgo profundamente arraigado, plagado de falacias lógicas, tergiversaciones de la historia y una mala comprensión fundamental de la naturaleza misma de la fe. Este libro es una contraofensiva, un desmantelamiento intelectual y filosófico del escepticismo anticristiano. Profundizará en las fallas epistemológicas, las inconsistencias internas y las tergiversaciones históricas que plagan este movimiento. Expondremos los dobles estándares con los que los escépticos critican despiadadamente el cristianismo mientras protegen sus visiones del mundo favoritas de un escrutinio similar. Este no es un trabajo de apologética ciega. Reconoce que el cristianismo debe ser capaz de resistir los desafíos intelectuales. Pero la investigación honesta difiere enormemente de los ataques motivados ideológicamente. Este libro busca separar los dos. Demostrará que un cristianismo razonado e intelectualmente sólido no sólo sobrevive al ataque del escéptico sino que prospera frente a él.

Book Description
The Roman philosopher's didactic poem in 6 parts, De Rerum Natura — On the Nature of Things — theorizes that natural causes are the forces behind earthly phenomena and dismisses divine intervention. Derived from the philosophical materialism of the Greeks, Lucretius' work remains the primary source for contemporary knowledge of Epicurean thought.

Book Description
The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Book Description
Ramism was the most controversial pedagogical movement to sweep through the Protestant world in the latter sixteenth century. This book, the first contextualized study of this rich tradition, has wide-ranging implications for the intellectual, cultural, and social histories not only of the Holy Roman Empire but also of the entire Protestant world in the crucial decades immediately preceding the advent of the "new philosophy" in the mid-seventeenth century.
