Dissertation on Predestination and Grace

By: Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz,G. W. Leibniz

In this book G. W. Leibniz presents not only his reflections on predestination and election but also a more detailed account of the problem of evil than is found in any of his other works apart from the Theodicy. Surprisingly, his Dissertation on Predestination and Grace has never before been published in any form. Michael J. Murray's project of translating, editing, and providing commentary for the volume will therefore attract great interest among scholars and students of Leibniz's philosophy and theology. Leibniz addresses such topics as free will, moral responsibility, divine causation, justice, punishment, divine foreknowledge, and human freedom, revealing crucial aspects of the genesis of his mature metaphysics and the theological motivations behind it.

Ideas for the Philosophy of the History of Mankind

By: Johann Gottfried Herder

One of the most important works of the Enlightenment—in the first new, unabridged English translation in more than two centuries Published in four volumes between 1784 and 1791, Herder’s Ideas for the Philosophy of the History of Mankind is one of the most important works of the Enlightenment—a bold, original, and encyclopedic synthesis of, and contribution to, the era’s philosophical debates over nature, history, culture, and the very meaning of human experience. This is the first new, unabridged English translation of the Ideas in more than two centuries. Gregory Martin Moore’s lively, modern English text, extensive introduction, and commentary bring this neglected masterpiece back to life. The Ideas—which engages with many of the leading thinkers of the eighteenth century, such as Montesquieu, Kant, Gibbon, Ferguson, Buffon, and Rousseau—is many things at once: an inquiry into the unity and purpose of history, a reflection on human nature and the place of humans in the cosmic order, an examination of what was beginning to be called “culture,” and a narrative of cultural progress across time among different peoples. Along the way, Herder considers a dizzying variety of topics, including the formation of the earth and solar system, species change, race, the immortality of the soul, the establishment of society, and the pursuit of happiness. Above all, the Ideas is an anthropology—what Alexander Pope had termed an “essay on man”—pervaded by an appropriately humane spirit. A fresh and much-needed modern translation of the complete Ideas, this volume reintroduces English readers to a classic of Enlightenment thought.

Confessio Philosophi

Papers Concerning the Problem of Evil, 1671-1678

By: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz,Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz,Brandon Look,James H. Stam

This volume contains papers that represent Leibniz's early thoughts on the problem of evil, centring on a dialogue, the Confessio philosophi, in which he formulates a general account of God's relation to sin and evil that becomes a fixture in his thinking. How can God be understood to be the ultimate cause, asks Leibniz, without God being considered as the author of sin, a conclusion incompatible with God's holiness? Leibniz's attempts to justify the way of God to humans lead him to deep discussion of related topics: the nature of free choice, the problems of necessitarianism and fatalism, the nature of divine justice and holiness. All but one of the writings presented here are available in English for the first time.

Shortcut to Spirituality

Mastering the Art of Inner Peace

By: Bob Gottfried

What if you could achieve inner peace right now, regardless of your life circumstances? Shortcut to Spirituality: Mastering the Art of Inner Peace is a non-fiction manuscript based on the author's clinical work. Unlike many spirituality and self-help books, this book goes beyond information to offer a multi-dimensional approach that can save years of searching for inner serenity compared with either mediation or psychological techniques alone. The book offers an array of significant life lessons, introduced in a fresh and innovative way, from resolving stress, anxiety, and depression, to dealing with difficult people, conflicts, and complex emotions such as anger and grief. It describes a unique process to cope with various health problems as well as death and dying. Most significant, it approaches these issues from a practical. result-driven perspective not usually associated with spiritual writings. Many spiritual books are based on a special personal experience. Others reflect traditional religious principles or Eastern philosophies. In contrast, Shortcut to Spirituality is based on the author's clinical experience as a therapist, interacting with thousands of real people about daily challenges. The book also discusses a number of controversial topics, which readers will find stimulating and challenging.

Economics, Ecology, and the Roots of Western Faith

Perspectives from the Garden

By: Robert R. Gottfried

Environmentalists have turned to Eastern religion, Deep Ecology and Native American religion for alternatives to the Western view that humans should dominate nature. In Economics, Ecology, and the Roots of Western Faith, Robert R. Gottfried persuasively demonstrates that the ancient Hebrew worldview, found in the Torah and the New Testament, is remarkably "green." Drawing on these insights from ancient Western thought and economic understanding of ecosystems and natural processess, Gottfried analyzes the prerequisites for maintaining or improving human welfare and ecological vitality in terms of land economics and management.
