Beschreibung

A collection of religious writings from English Anglican bishop and theologian Joseph Butler. The author's best known work during his lifetime. which remained the chief buttress of Christian argument against unbelief. In this work Butler argued that nature itself was full of mysteries and cruelties and so shared the same alleged defects as the Bible. Arguing on empiricist grounds that all knowledge of nature and human conduct is merely probable, Butler appealed to a series of patterns or analogies observable in nature and human affairs, which in his view make the chief teachings of Christianity likely. With additional essays on Personal Identity and the Nature of Virtue. Written by Joseph Butler, an English Anglican bishop, theologian, apologist, and philosopher. Bound by Neil, Glasgow.
