An Appendix to the First Part of the Enquiry Into the Nature of the Human Soul (Classic Reprint): Wherein the Principles Laid Down There, Are Cleared ... Vindicated, or Shewn Not to Be Carried on by - Softcover
Synopsis
A rigorous defense of divine governance over the material world, challenging the idea that mechanism alone can explain nature. This edition clarifies the premises about matter, power, and the role of the Creator.
Drawing on foundational questions from earlier work, it presents a careful examination of space, duration, and the nature of motion. The goal is to show that immaterial power acts upon matter, and that the universe is governed by a consistent, theistic framework rather than impersonal forces alone.
- Reassesses the claim that matter is an inert substance with no active power.
- Argues that the Deity’s power is the direct source of natural order, not a set of secondary causes.
- Critiques mechanistic explanations in physics and natural philosophy with precise reasoning.
- Offers a framework for understanding gravity, motion, and space without surrendering to strict materialism.
Ideal for readers interested in philosophy of mind, theology, and early modern debates about nature and power.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, by a respected expert in the field, challenges the prevailing view that the material world can operate independently of conscious beings, positing instead that an immaterial power is the driving force behind the laws of nature. Examining a range of phenomena, from gravity to magnetism to the cohesion of matter, the author argues that the traditional mechanistic worldview, which attributes these phenomena to the action of matter upon matter, is fundamentally flawed. Drawing on both historical and contemporary sources, the author presents a compelling case for a non-materialist understanding of the universe, one that recognizes the primacy of consciousness in the shaping of our experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
