Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book carefully scrutinizes the dynamic relationship between faith and reason by examining one of the most profound contradictions in Western thought: the tension between our practical faith in morality and religion and our theoretical distrust of the concepts they rest upon. The author argues that traditional defenses of morality and religion, which seek to limit the authority of reason and assert the validity of faith-based claims through other means (such as intuition or revelation), are ultimately flawed. Instead, he proposes a novel approach that centers on redefining the very nature and function of reason itself. Through this innovative lens, the author explores how a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and human experience can lead to a more robust and intellectually defensible framework for both morality and religion. By challenging conventional assumptions about the limits of human reason and offering a new perspective on the relationship between faith and knowledge, this book provides valuable insights for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these fundamental aspects of human existence.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ethics of war, the causes of conflict, and its origins in the human condition. The author argues that war is wholly immoral, with its roots in envy and selfishness. However, from the resulting destruction, good can sometimes arise. Importantly, the morality of defensive warfare is questioned; as all wars spring from aggression, defensive warfare is also seen as immoral. This challenges traditional views on war and its justifications. Despite the immorality of its causes and the horrors it brings, this book argues that the diminution of the power of evil in the world is a compelling fact. It suggests that the collective pain and sorrow brought by war are bringing forth new moral standards and higher powers. As a result, war is widely condemned as a crime, and the author predicts that future generations will view our tolerance of war with disbelief.

This book's examination of the third Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles through the lens of ancient medicine provides corroborating evidence that Luke was the author of both works.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the formation and impact of the Progressive Party in the United States, drawing parallels to the Republican Party's founding 60 years prior which was founded on a single issue: anti-slavery. The author argues that, in contrast, the issues that led to the formation of the Progressive Party were far more diffuse and complex. Many of the concerns were a response to the economic and political collusion between privilege and power that had led to entrenched inequalities for ordinary Americans. The author argues that the Progressive Party's goals, while not always successful, did force both major parties to at least pay lip service to some of the reforms they advocated. This book will appeal to those interested in American history, politics, and social movements. It provides a nuanced exploration of the Progressive Party, its motivations, and its significance in the context of American political development.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the dueling theories of naturalism and humanism which emerged in the wake of the scientific advancements of the 19th century. These theories clashed over whether human beings were an extension of nature, subject to its laws and processes, or if they possessed a unique status deserving special reverence and consideration. The author instigates a fresh philosophical inquiry, arguing that neither theory fully captures the human experience and posits that enlightenment might be found in a synthesis of the two perspectives. The author illustrates that the Western intellectual tradition has prioritized possession and ownership, extending this concept to realms of psychology, metaphysics, and ethics. This flawed thinking has resulted in perceiving ourselves and our place in the world through an inaccurate lens. The book challenges this deeply ingrained framework and sets out to explore a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of humanity, a resounding call for intellectual and philosophical evolution.
