Klappentext
A synthesis of the lifelong thinking of British theologian philosopher JAMES MARTINEAU (1805-1900), this astonishing work, written when he was 80 and published in 1885, continues to offer important insight into the borderlands between faith and reason. nnA devout champion of Christianity, Martineau was also one of the first religious thinkers to recognize the import of Darwin's theory of evolution, and here, he interprets and applies ethics-which he defines as "the doctrine of human character"-in a world undergoing a radical paradigm shift.nnIn Volume II, Martineau discusses such issues as moral judgment, moral authority, the psychological states that compel everything we do and feel, concepts of justice, how psychology is impacted by Darwin's work, and much more.
