Proofs of God in Early Modern Europe - An Anthology Strickland LloydPaperback / softback
Proofs of God in Early Modern Europe offers a fascinating window into early modern efforts to prove God's existence. These selections feature traditional proofs--such as various ontological, cosmological, and design arguments--but also introduce more exotic proofs, such as the argument from eternal truths, the argument from universal aseity, and the argument ex consensus gentium. Assembled here are twenty-two key texts, many translated into English for the first time, which illustrate the variety of arguments that philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries offered for God.
Drawn from the work of eighteen philosophers, this book includes both canonical figures (such as Descartes, Spinoza, Newton, Leibniz, Locke, and Berkeley) and noncanonical thinkers (such as Norris, Fontenelle, Voltaire, Wolff, Du Ch telet, and Maupertuis).Lloyd Strickland
