Personalism

By Borden Parker Bowne

Book Overview

Personalism is a philosophical work written by Borden Parker Bowne, an American philosopher and theologian. The book explores the concept of personalism, which is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the importance of the individual person as the center of all philosophical and ethical considerations. Bowne argues that personalism is a necessary response to the limitations of traditional philosophical systems, which often neglect the unique, subjective experiences of individual human beings. He argues that personalism offers a more holistic and comprehensive framework for understanding the world, one that takes into account the complex interplay of personal experiences, relationships, and values. Throughout the book, Bowne draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and John Henry Newman. He also engages with contemporary debates in philosophy, such as the relationship between the individual and society, the nature of consciousness and free will, and the role of religion in human life. Overall, Personalism is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a philosophical approach that continues to have relevance and significance in the contemporary world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or theology, and offers a compelling argument for the importance of placing the individual person at the center of all philosophical inquiry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
