The Philosophical Basis Of Naturalism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162895093)

The Philosophical Basis of Naturalism is a book written by Arthur James Balfour, a British philosopher and statesman. In this book, Balfour presents a critical analysis of naturalism, a philosophical theory that asserts that everything in the universe can be explained by natural causes and laws. He argues that naturalism is flawed because it fails to account for the existence of consciousness, morality, and other aspects of human experience that cannot be reduced to physical or chemical processes. Balfour also explores the relationship between naturalism and religion, and argues that naturalism cannot provide a satisfactory basis for morality or meaning in life. The book is considered a classic of philosophical literature and has influenced debates in philosophy, theology, and science.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Foundations of Belief Being Notes Introductory to the Study of Theology, by Arthur James Balfour.
