Calvinism And The Philosophy Of Nature: The Stone Lectures Delivered At Princeton In 1930 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163153543)

""Calvinism and the Philosophy of Nature: The Stone Lectures Delivered at Princeton in 1930"" is a book written by Valentine Hepp. The book is a collection of lectures given by Hepp at Princeton University in 1930. The lectures explore the relationship between Calvinism, a branch of Protestantism, and the philosophy of nature. Hepp argues that Calvinism has had a profound impact on the way that people view the natural world. He contends that Calvinism emphasizes the sovereignty of God and the idea that everything in the natural world is subject to God's will. This, in turn, has led to a particular way of thinking about nature that emphasizes order, rationality, and coherence.Throughout the book, Hepp draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments. He discusses the work of influential thinkers such as John Calvin, Francis Bacon, and Immanuel Kant, as well as the ideas of various theologians and philosophers who have written about the relationship between religion and nature.Overall, ""Calvinism and the Philosophy of Nature"" is an important contribution to the study of the relationship between religion and science. It provides a unique perspective on the ways in which religious beliefs can shape our understanding of the natural world and offers insights into the historical development of scientific thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
