Theism and Humanism

＂Theism and Humanism＂ presents Arthur James Balfour’s profound exploration of two fundamental worldviews. Derived from the esteemed Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1914, this work delves into the philosophical underpinnings of theism and humanism, examining their implications for our understanding of existence, morality, and the human condition.

Balfour, a noted philosopher and statesman, rigorously analyzes the core tenets of both perspectives, offering a nuanced comparison of their strengths and weaknesses. He grapples with fundamental questions about religion, ethics, and the nature of reality, providing a framework for understanding the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason. This book remains a vital contribution to philosophical discourse, offering insights into the enduring tensions between religious belief and secular humanism. A cornerstone of philosophical and religious thought, ＂Theism and Humanism＂ continues to provoke and inspire readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and religion.
