9781330880371: Creator and Creation, or the Knowledge in the Reason of God and His Work (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore how science and faith intersect to explain a personal Creator and the forces that shape our universe.

This thoughtful work argues that understanding the world requires combining experience with a deeper philosophy that goes beyond sense alone. It traces how knowledge of creation arises from both observable phenomena and a rational belief in a purposeful order behind nature. This edition lays out a broad program: to examine how space, time, force, and life fit together, and to argue that reason can recognize a personal, absolute Creator. It surveys classic questions in philosophy of mind and nature, then builds a framework where physical facts point to a larger, spiritual explanation without sacrificing rigorous analysis.

  • See how space, time, and force are treated as interconnected under a unified view of reality.
  • Learn why a rational philosophy is proposed as the key to balancing science and theology.
  • Explore the idea of a personal Creator who orders the universe and endows life with meaning.
  • Understand how reason, experience, and morality are linked in the human quest for truth.
Ideal for readers of philosophy of science, religion, and inquiries into the nature of reality and the Creator.

Product Description

Excerpt from Creator and Creation, or the Knowledge in the Reason of God and His Work There must be some point from whence the Universe may be observed, and the self-consistent whole be fully comprehended. To a spiritual discernment from that point the Universe will be known as a Cosmos of order and beauty, and such comprehensive knowing will be true wisdom. Intelligences from lower positions may be urging their way upward towards this point of vision, and may be esteemed wise proportioned to their elevation; but the impulse which, from any stair, urges to a higher, is, at least, a love of wisdom; and so the spirit of true philosophy may be taking any step from the lowest, to the highest. But the wisdom here loved and sought must be more than a mere apprehension of facts, even the comprehension of facts in their essential unity.
