The Philosophical Basis of Theism

By Samuel Harris

The Philosophical Basis of Theism, penned by Samuel Harris and originally published in 1888, presents a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical foundations underpinning theistic belief. Harris delves into the core arguments for the existence of God, examining concepts of causality, morality, and human consciousness. He addresses common objections to theism, offering reasoned counterarguments rooted in both philosophical and theological traditions.

This work provides valuable insights into the intellectual landscape of late 19th-century religious thought, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of philosophy, religion, and intellectual history. Harris's detailed analysis of theism's philosophical underpinnings ensures that "The Philosophical Basis of Theism" remains relevant for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the intellectual roots of religious belief.
