The Problem Of Human Destiny: Or The End Of Providence In The World And Man (1864) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781437394504)

The Problem of Human Destiny: Or The End of Providence in the World and Man is a philosophical work written by Orville Dewey in 1864. This book explores the concept of destiny and the role of Providence in shaping the fate of humanity. Dewey argues that while there may be a divine plan for the world and its inhabitants, it is not necessarily predetermined or unchangeable. Instead, he suggests that human agency and free will play a significant role in shaping the course of history and determining our individual destinies. Dewey examines various religious and philosophical perspectives on the nature of Providence and destiny, including those of Christianity, Judaism, and ancient Greek philosophy. He also considers the implications of these ideas for ethics, morality, and social justice. Overall, The Problem of Human Destiny offers a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of existence and our place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
