More specifically, the book demonstrates how Bergson's philosophy of time can respond to the problem of foreknowledge and free will.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe question of how humans can be free if God knows everything has been a perennial issue of debate in analytic philosophy of religion. The solution to this problem relies heavily on what one thinks about time. The problem of time is central to Bergson's philosophical system. In this book, the author offers a systematic application of Bergson's thought to the freedom and foreknowledge problem. The first chapter presents a discussion of Bergson's central concept of \u003cem\u003ela dur馥\u003c\/em\u003e (duration). The subsequent two chapters link \u003cem\u003ela dur馥\u003c\/em\u003e to the relation of time and space. Here the author provides a Bergsonian response to McTaggart's argument for the unreality of time and develops a novel theory of time connected to Bergson's analysis of temporal experience. The last three chapters explore the relation between free will, determinism, and divine foreknowledge. The author reconstructs Bergson's theory of freedom and shows how it undermines the underlying dogmas of contemporary free-will theories. The author then argues that Bergson's philosophy can be used to resolve the free will and foreknowledge problem in the philosophy of religion. The monograph concludes by opening avenues for new research into Bergson and analytic philosophy of religion, such as the philosophy of religious language, the relation between God and modality, religious experience, and religious pluralism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenri Bergson and the Philosophy of Religion will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Bergson, 20th-century continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maty疽 Moravec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032392533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032392530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Maty疽 Moravec","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245197029631,"sku":"9781032392530","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e915268-422e-4ccb-a798-e79e6dc65b88.jpg?v=1693926687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henri-bergson-and-the-philosophy-maty-s-moravec-9781032392530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
