Moral Values And The Idea Of God

By William Ritchie Sorley

Book Overview

""Moral Values and the Idea of God"" is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between morality and religion. Written by W.R. Sorley, a renowned philosopher and theologian, the book delves into the nature of moral values and the role that the idea of God plays in shaping our understanding of them.Sorley argues that moral values are not arbitrary or subjective, but are grounded in objective reality. He contends that the concept of God provides a foundation for this objective reality, as it allows us to understand the ultimate source of moral values and the purpose of human existence.Throughout the book, Sorley engages with a range of philosophical and theological perspectives, drawing on the works of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and S������ren Kierkegaard. He also explores the implications of his ideas for contemporary ethical debates, such as the relationship between religion and morality, the nature of human rights, and the challenges posed by moral relativism.Overall, ""Moral Values and the Idea of God"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex relationship between morality and religion, and will be of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these fundamental aspects of human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
