Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Theism And Humanism: Being The Gifford Lectures, 1914 (1915)"" is a collection of lectures delivered by Arthur James Balfour in 1914 as part of the prestigious Gifford Lecture series. The lectures explore the relationship between theism and humanism, two philosophical concepts that have been in constant tension throughout history. Balfour argues that theism, which posits the existence of a divine being, provides a more coherent and satisfying explanation of the universe and human experience than humanism, which emphasizes the importance of human values and achievements. Balfour also examines the implications of these two worldviews for ethics, politics, and the meaning of life. The book is a thoughtful and erudite exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
