Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay In Aid Of A Grammar Of Assent"" is a philosophical work written by John Henry Newman in 1891. The book is an exploration of the nature of belief and how it is formed, particularly in relation to religious beliefs. Newman argues that belief is not simply a matter of rational argument or empirical evidence, but also involves a complex interplay of personal experience, intuition, and faith. He suggests that the process of belief formation is not a matter of deduction, but rather involves a kind of ""illative sense"" that allows individuals to make judgments based on a range of factors, including personal experience, testimony, and tradition. The book is considered to be one of Newman's most important works, and has been influential in the fields of philosophy, theology, and religious studies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of belief and the role of faith in human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
