Excerpt from The Philosophy of Theism: An Inquiry Into the Dependence of Theism on Metaphysics, and the Only Possible Way of Arriving at a Proof of the Existence of God
An objection will, no doubt, be raised in regard to the dry and some what repulsive style in which it is written; and although the author has no excuse to make for any faults on this score, yet, he may be allowed to say, that the abstruse and difficult nature Of the subject rendered the adoption of this style to some extent necessary.
In an abstract Metaphysical work like the present, the nature of the subject renders a clear and perspicuous style somewhat difficult of attainment. Believing that this object is best attained by divesting the argument of anything that might mislead the reader; the author has endeavoured to adhere rigidly to the thread of argument, and maintain the connexion of its parts in an unbroken line, so that the reader, by close attention, may be able to follow the argument from beginning to end. If he has failed, in any case, in making himself understood, it is hoped the reader will make allowance for this, from the Character of the question under consideration.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that belief in God necessitates a belief in Metaphysics, the study of the fundamental nature of reality. Without Metaphysics, the author claims that we cannot fully understand the principles that allow us to prove God's existence. The author first argues that neither a purely a priori nor a purely a posteriori proof of God's existence is possible. We must use both, which means examining facts of experience and a priori principles. He then discusses the importance of Metaphysics in relation to theism, highlighting the folly of rejecting Metaphysics and explaining why Metaphysics must succeed Mathematics. Finally, the author provides an exposition of the method of proof for God's existence. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the relationship between Metaphysics and theism. It provides a clear and concise explanation of the arguments for and against the existence of God from a Metaphysical perspective.
