{"product_id":"the-method-of-the-divine-james-mccosh-9781108004145","title":"The Method of the Divine Government","description":"This 1850 edition of The Method of The Divine Government is the Scottish philosopher and clergyman James McCosh's influential account of how God's providence, which in his opinion is an unquestionable fact, governs the world in both a physical (external) and in a moral (internal) sense. The latter is particularly connected to the many layers that make up man's conscience. This second edition, which consists of four parts ('books') and an appendix, differs from the original version as McCosh pays far more attention to first principles than to fundamental ones. He seeks to pinpoint God's character and probes the depths of man's conscience (First Book) and in the following he delves into the physical aspects of God's government, paying particular attention to Comte's Positivism. McCosh devotes part three to a detailed analysis of the human mind and moral nature and finally in the fourth part he reconciles God and man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James McCosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108004148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108004145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.24d","brand":"James McCosh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423435669759,"sku":"9781108004145","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2be9e60a-296b-4106-b754-05c6f2d04491.jpg?v=1761528596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-method-of-the-divine-james-mccosh-9781108004145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
