The Philosophical Basis Of Naturalism

By Arthur James Balfour and Arthur Balfour

Book Overview

The Philosophical Basis Of Naturalism is a book written by Arthur James Balfour that delves into the philosophical underpinnings of naturalism. Naturalism is a philosophical worldview that asserts that all phenomena can be explained by natural causes and laws, without the need for supernatural or divine intervention. Balfour argues that naturalism is a flawed worldview, as it cannot account for the existence of consciousness, free will, and moral values. He contends that these phenomena require a non-naturalistic explanation, and that naturalism ultimately leads to nihilism and moral relativism. Balfour's book is a seminal work in the field of philosophy, and has been widely influential in shaping contemporary debates about the nature of reality and the limits of scientific inquiry.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Foundations of Belief Being Notes Introductory to the Study of Theology, by Arthur James Balfour.
