Publisher's Synopsis
This book, written by F. Allan Conlan, is titled ""A Critique of the Philosophy of Religion of Henry Nelson Wieman in the Light of Thomistic Principles"". The book aims to provide a critical analysis of the philosophy of religion proposed by Henry Nelson Wieman, a prominent American philosopher and theologian, using the principles of Thomism, a philosophical and theological framework developed by St. Thomas Aquinas.The book begins by introducing Wieman's philosophy of religion, which emphasizes the importance of religious experience and the subjective nature of religious beliefs. Conlan then proceeds to examine Wieman's ideas in detail, focusing on their compatibility with Thomistic principles such as the existence of God, the nature of human beings, and the role of reason in religious belief.Throughout the book, Conlan argues that Wieman's philosophy of religion is fundamentally flawed and incompatible with Thomistic principles. He critiques Wieman's emphasis on subjective experience and argues that it leads to a relativistic view of religion that undermines the objective truth claims of Christianity. Conlan also challenges Wieman's rejection of traditional theological concepts such as the Trinity and argues that they are necessary for a coherent understanding of God.Overall, ""A Critique of the Philosophy of Religion of Henry Nelson Wieman in the Light of Thomistic Principles"" is a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Wieman's philosophy of religion from a Thomistic perspective. It will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy and theology who are interested in the relationship between subjective experience and objective truth claims in religious belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
