Essays On Several Important Subjects In Philosophy And Religion (1676)

Essays on Several Important Subjects in Philosophy and Religion is a collection of essays written by Joseph Glanvill in 1676. Glanvill was a prominent English philosopher and theologian who was known for his defense of the supernatural and his skepticism towards rationalism. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the existence of the soul, the problem of evil, and the role of reason in religion. Glanvill argues that reason and faith are not mutually exclusive, and that a proper understanding of both is necessary for a complete understanding of the world. He also defends the idea of miracles and supernatural events, and argues that they are not necessarily contrary to reason. The book was well-received in its time and is still considered an important work in the history of philosophy and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
