Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Freedom of Mind in Willing: Or Every Being That Wills a Creative First Cause"" is a philosophical treatise written by Rowland Gibson Hazard in 1864. The book explores the concept of free will and its relationship to the idea of a supreme creative force. Hazard argues that the ability to will is a fundamental aspect of human nature and that this capacity for choice is what distinguishes humans from other animals. He also contends that the act of willing is evidence of a higher power, which he refers to as the ""creative first cause."" Throughout the book, Hazard examines various philosophical perspectives on free will, including those of Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer. He also draws upon religious and spiritual traditions, such as Christianity and Hinduism, to support his arguments. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between free will and the creative first cause. Overall, ""Freedom of Mind in Willing"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of human agency and its connection to the divine. It is a challenging read that will appeal to those interested in philosophy, religion, and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
