Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This amusing, acerbic collection of essays examines every facet of the evolution/creationism controversy. Delos B. McKown exposes the ambiguous standing of 'creation science' in public education, its roots in American fundamentalism, its incompatibility with scientific inquiry, and the clever rhetorical ploys 'scientific creationists' use to cover their tracks. Although 'scientific creationists' try to impose a pure myth upon our public schools in the guise of science, theirs is a curious kind of reasoning having ominous consequences for any society hoping to ground its educational system on modern scientific knowledge and methodology and on open, free investigation of problems and issues. McKown takes the 'scientific creationists' world view seriously. In those instances where they would like to escape a literal reading of the Bible and slip into parable or allegory to avoid embarrassment, he makes them take their scriptures straight. Moreover, McKown puts them to rout with a perfectly biblical bit of theology that he calls 'Three-World Creationsim.' The Mythmaker's Magic puts 'scientific creationism' into its proper historical perspective, shows what its legal and constitutional strengths are, and suggests what may be done to thwart, if not destroy, its malignant influence in public education. For all those who want to actively combat the dangerous spread of 'scientific creationism' in public education, this powerful book can serve as both a beacon and a guide.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During his long, productive life the great English philosopher and exponent of utilitarianism Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) wrote not just on political philosophy but also clandestinely on religion. Under the pseudonym of Philip Beauchamp he published an attack on natural religion called 'Analysis of the Influence of Natural Religion on the Temporal Happiness of Mankind' and under the pseudonym of Gamaliel Smith he published a book of New Testament criticism called 'Not Paul, But Jesus.' In addition, Bentham bravely released under his own name' Church-of-Englandism and Its Catechism Examined,' a thorough, biting critique of Anglican doctrine. These little-known works are discussed at length by philosopher Delos B. McKown in this informative contribution to Bentham scholarship. McKown introduces these major works on religion, and then presents an extensive synopsis of each. He defends Bentham against the criticisms of opponents where necessary, but does not hesitate to criticize Bentham when he feels he goes astray. McKown also shows how Bentham's attacks on the Christianity of his time, which denigrated human life in the here-and-now for some imagined future postmortem state of glory, fully complemented his utilitarian philosophy of the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people. This thorough analysis of three little-known works by one of philosophy's great minds makes an outstanding contribution to Bentham scholarship and will be of interest to humanists and philosophers of religion.…
