Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a philosophical dilemma concerning human agency. The author, a renowned philosopher, questions the long-standing conventional wisdom of theological inquiry by attempting to separate matters of faith from those of abstract reasoning. The author explores the idea that the controversy regarding free will and necessity, a central tenet of religious doctrine, can be reasonably argued using a strictly logical approach. This book examines the historical entanglement of theology and metaphysics, highlighting the pitfalls of blending purely abstract propositions with facts belonging to the physiology of the human mind. The author contends that attempting to resolve theological problems through abstruse philosophical arguments not only complicates religious doctrine but also creates a false dichotomy between faith and reason. This book ultimately argues that theological questions should be grounded in the practicalities of human experience rather than in the realm of abstract metaphysics.
