Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Modern Materialism: In Its Relations To Religion And Theology (1877) is a book written by James Martineau, a prominent British philosopher and theologian. In this work, Martineau explores the relationship between materialism and religion, arguing that the two are fundamentally incompatible. He examines the various forms of materialism that were prevalent in the 19th century, including those espoused by scientific thinkers such as Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, and critiques their implications for religious belief. Martineau also considers the theological responses to materialism, including the attempts to reconcile science and religion through the concept of divine providence. Throughout the book, Martineau emphasizes the importance of maintaining a distinctively religious perspective in the face of materialistic challenges, and argues that a robust theology is necessary for the preservation of moral and spiritual values. Overall, Modern Materialism is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the relationship between science, religion, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
