James McCosh fu un importante filosofo della Scuola Scozzese del Senso Comune. Il suo lavoro si addentrò nelle profondità della mente e della moralità, cercando di esplorare i fondamenti della cognizione e dell'etica umana. Il contributo di McCosh risiede nella sua difesa della comprensione intuitiva come strumento chiave per l'indagine filosofica. Il suo approccio filosofico fu caratterizzato da un tentativo di collegare le scoperte scientifiche con le tradizionali questioni metafisiche, offrendo una visione coerente del mondo intellettuale.
This book presents a classic study of metaphysics, exploring topics such as the nature of reality, the mind-body problem, and the existence of God. First published in the 19th century, it remains an influential work in the field of philosophy.
In this classic work of philosophy, James McCosh takes on the ideas of John Stuart Mill, arguing that Mill's empiricist and utilitarian philosophy fails to account for the fundamental truths of human existence. McCosh offers a powerful defense of objective truth and moral values, and shows how they can be reconciled with modern science and rational inquiry.
In these lectures, James McCosh offers a defense of the compatibility between religion and evolutionary theory. McCosh argues that belief in a divine creator and in the process of evolution are not mutually exclusive. He addresses the objections that many religious individuals had to Darwin's theory, and proposes that a belief in evolution can enhance one's view of God's power and creativity. This work is an important contribution to the ongoing dialogue between science and religion.
