Publisher's Synopsis
""Christianity and Positivism"" is a book written by James McCosh, a Scottish philosopher and theologian. The book explores the relationship between Christianity and positivism, a philosophical movement that emphasizes empirical evidence and scientific reasoning. McCosh argues that Christianity and positivism are not mutually exclusive, and that the two can coexist in harmony. He discusses various topics such as the nature of God, the role of reason in religion, and the relationship between faith and science. McCosh also critiques the positivist philosophy, arguing that it is incomplete and unable to fully explain the complexities of human experience. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between religion and science, and a call for a more nuanced understanding of both.1874.
