Résumé
Theism and Humanism distills Balfour's 1914-15 Gifford Lectures into a polished case for theism grounded in the very conditions of knowledge and value. Rejecting naturalistic and positivist reductions, he argues that reason's trustworthiness, moral obligation, and aesthetic experience are not satisfactorily explained by blind evolution but are at home in a theistic universe. With urbane wit and forensic patience, Balfour revisits themes from his earlier Foundations of Belief, sharpening them into an Edwardian apologetic that moves nimbly between epistemology, ethics, and the philosophy of science.
A statesman-philosopher and former British Prime Minister, Balfour brought to these lectures a lifelong engagement with philosophical doubt and social authority (from Defence of Philosophic Doubt to The Foundations of Belief), as well as a keen interest in scientific culture. Delivered amid the disillusionments of the Great War, his reflections bear the stamp of a cultivated intelligence seeking grounds for rational confidence and humane purpose beyond the flux of political contingency.
This classic will reward readers of philosophy of religion, intellectual history, and anyone curious about whether human reason, morality, and beauty point beyond naturalism. Read it for its crisp arguments, historical poise, and its enduring challenge to a purely scientific humanism. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted.
Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
