Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""On The Whole Doctrine Of Final Causes: A Dissertation In Three Parts"" is a book written by William Josiah Irons and published in 1836. The book is a detailed exploration of the concept of final causes, which refers to the purpose or end goal of things in the natural world. Irons examines the philosophical and theological implications of the idea of final causes, and argues that they are essential to understanding the nature of the universe and the role of God in it. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the topic. Part one explores the historical development of the concept of final causes, while part two examines the scientific and philosophical arguments for and against the idea. In part three, Irons applies the concept of final causes to theology, arguing that it provides a framework for understanding the purpose of human existence and the nature of God's plan for the world. Overall, ""On The Whole Doctrine Of Final Causes"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of a fundamental concept in philosophy and theology.With An Introductory Chapter On The Character Of Modern Deism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
