Inhaltsangabe

Explore how philosophy weaves together the idea of God, reality, and value across a century of thought. In these Gifford Lectures, A. Seth Pringle-Pattison examines how the divine is understood in relation to the world, the role of experience, and the basis for judging what is real and good.

This edition digs into problems of immanence and transcendence, the idea of degrees of truth, and how great thinkers like Spinoza, Kant, and Bradley shape our sense of reality. It offers a clear path through complex debates about God, nature, and the meaning of life as part of a broader systematic view of the universe.

• How philosophy treats God as both immanent and transcendent, and what that means for belief.


• A discussion of degrees of reality and how value is grounded in the whole of experience.


• Critiques and clarifications of major theories from Spinoza to Bradley and Kant.


• Connections between metaphysics, religion, and the nature of value in human life.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas who want a thoughtful, accessible account of these enduring questions.
