Book Overview

""Historic Aspects Of The A Priori Argument Concerning The Being And Attributes Of God: Being Four Lectures"" is a book written by John Gibson Cazenove and originally published in 1886. The book is a scholarly exploration of the a priori argument for the existence and attributes of God, which is a philosophical argument that posits that the existence of God can be deduced through reason alone, without the need for empirical evidence.In the book, Cazenove examines the historical development of the a priori argument, tracing its roots back to the ancient Greeks and following its evolution through the medieval period and into the modern era. He discusses the contributions of key philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Anselm, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant, among others.Throughout the book, Cazenove provides a detailed analysis of the various forms of the a priori argument, including the ontological argument, the cosmological argument, and the teleological argument. He also critiques the strengths and weaknesses of each argument, and discusses the objections that have been raised against them.Overall, ""Historic Aspects Of The A Priori Argument Concerning The Being And Attributes Of God: Being Four Lectures"" is a comprehensive and insightful examination of one of the most important philosophical arguments in the history of Western thought. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
