Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V1 - Paperback

by S. Alexander (Author)

""Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V1"" is a philosophical treatise by Samuel Alexander, a prominent philosopher of the early 20th century. The book is based on a series of lectures that Alexander delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1919-1920 as part of the prestigious Gifford Lectures, an annual series of lectures on natural theology and the philosophy of religion.In this book, Alexander explores the nature of space, time, and deity, and how they relate to each other. He argues that space and time are not absolute, independent entities, but rather are intimately connected and interdependent. He also discusses the concept of deity, which he sees as a fundamental aspect of the universe, and explores the relationship between deity and the natural world.Throughout the book, Alexander draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific ideas, including those of Immanuel Kant, Albert Einstein, and Henri Bergson. He also engages with religious and mystical traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism.Overall, ""Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V1"" is a complex and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of the universe and our place within it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the mysteries of the cosmos.""1920. Volume 1 of a 2 volume set. A philosophical study of space, time and God.
