Publisher's Synopsis
Time and Eternity is a philosophical treatise written by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison, originally published in 1905. The book explores the concepts of time and eternity from a philosophical perspective, examining their relationship and the ways in which they intersect with human experience and understanding. Pringle-Pattison draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources to develop his arguments, exploring questions such as the nature of time, the possibility of eternal life, and the relationship between God and time. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between time and eternity. Part one focuses on the nature of time itself, examining its relationship to space and matter and exploring the ways in which it is experienced by human beings. Part two explores the concept of eternity, examining its relationship to time and the ways in which it is understood by different philosophical and religious traditions. Finally, part three examines the relationship between time and eternity, exploring the ways in which they intersect and the implications of this relationship for human understanding and experience. Throughout the book, Pringle-Pattison draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Saint Augustine, among others. The result is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the most fundamental concepts in human thought and experience.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Idea of God in the Light of Recent Philosophy, by A.
