Lectures And Essays On Natural Theology And Ethics

Lectures and Essays on Natural Theology and Ethics is a collection of writings by William Wallace, a prominent philosopher and theologian. The book is divided into two sections, with the first focusing on natural theology and the second on ethics.In the natural theology section, Wallace discusses various arguments for the existence of God, including the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the moral argument. He also explores the relationship between science and religion, arguing that the two are not necessarily in conflict and can coexist harmoniously.The ethics section of the book covers a wide range of topics, including moral relativism, the nature of moral obligation, and the role of emotions in ethical decision-making. Wallace also discusses the relationship between ethics and religion, arguing that while religion can provide a foundation for ethical values, it is not necessary for ethical behavior.Throughout the book, Wallace draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including Aristotle, Aquinas, and Kant. His writing is clear and accessible, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in natural theology and ethics.Edited, With A Biographical Introduction; Gifford Lectures On Natural Theology And The Relation Of Religion To Morality Delivered At Glasgow, 1894-95: Introductory Note 1.
