Berkeley

0.0 (0)

This volume is an attempt to present, for the first time, Berkeley's philosophic thought in its organic unity. The thought is unfolded in connection with his personal history, and it is compared with the results of later philosophical endeavors, including those of chief scientific and theological interest at the present day. - Preface.

"The main objective of Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy is to expand the range, variety and quality of texts in the history of philosophy which are available in English. The series includes texts by familiar names (such as Descartes and Kant) and also by less well-known authors. Wherever possible, texts are published in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially commissioned for the series. Each volume contains a critical introduction together with a guide to further reading and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. The volumes are designed for student use at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and will be of interest not only to students of philosophy but also to a wider audience of readers in the history of science, the history of theology and the history of ideas."--Jacket.

Church and state

0.0 (0)

The Church-state problem has persisted through the ages, from the days of the Roman Empire to our modern democratic times. This book attempts to disentangle the main threads of the Church-state relationship and to make this relationship intelligible to the general reader. The Church differs from civil society in three ways. First, it is supernatural and spiritual. Secondly, the Church's ultimate end, and the means it uses to attain that end, differ greatly from the ends and means of the civil power. And third, the Church was created by Christ Himself, and thus exists by divine right.
