Reason And Faith Or Philosophical Absurdities, And The Necessity Of Revelation (1788)

Reason And Faith: Or Philosophical Absurdities, And The Necessity Of Revelation (1788) is a philosophical treatise written by Joshua Hezekiah Decordova. The book explores the relationship between reason and faith, and argues that reason alone is insufficient for understanding the mysteries of the universe. Decordova contends that there are certain philosophical absurdities that cannot be explained by reason alone, and that the only way to understand them is through divine revelation.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the limitations of reason and the inadequacy of purely rational approaches to understanding the world. The second part explores the concept of divine revelation and argues that it is necessary for understanding the mysteries of the universe. The third part examines the relationship between reason and faith, and argues that they are complementary rather than contradictory.Throughout the book, Decordova draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, John Locke, and Thomas Aquinas. He also engages with contemporary debates about the nature of reason and faith, and offers a unique perspective on these issues.Overall, Reason And Faith: Or Philosophical Absurdities, And The Necessity Of Revelation is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between reason and faith, and the role of divine revelation in understanding the mysteries of the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
