Sinopsis

Is God Knowable? A clear argument that God can be known as a personal, self-conscious Spirit.

This work argues that knowledge of God is possible and meaningful, not just a theoretical hope. It engages science, philosophy, and religion to show why a personal God can enter into real relationship with finite creatures. Drawing on the history of religious thought in the East and West, it sets out why a personal, self-conscious divine presence is necessary to explain life, mind, and moral experience.

  • Clarifies what “knowledge” of God can mean in a modern context
  • contrasts impersonal and personal conceptions of the Divine
  • traces how science, philosophy, and religion shape our view of God
  • discusses ideas from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Brahmanism to illuminate the search for God
Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, theology, and the history of ideas who want a thoughtful, accessible discussion on whether and how God can be known.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Is God Knowable

All forms it is continually cropping up. A negative answer has been given to it, in the interests Of ortho doxy itself, and the arguments of the orthodox professor have been borrowed by the apostle of nescience, and made to serve as the foundation Of a system, in which all our knowledge and experience are only the working out Of equations by symbols which themselves remain unknown. A negative answer is given in the interests of science, on the plea that the solution of the problem is impossible, and attention given to it is sheer waste Of time. A negative answer is given in the interests of philosophy, because it is said that the duty Of philosophy, and its only task, is to elaborate into a system the general principles which are common to all the sciences, and thus to be the science of science.
