Scottish Philosophical Theology Paperback / softback
Edited by David Fergusson
Part of the Library of Scottish Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume concentrates on the period from the beginning of the 18th century to the latter part of the 20th.
It is impossible to depict a single school of philosophical theology in Scotland across three centuries, yet several strains have been identified that suggest some recurrent themes or intellectual habits.
These include the following: the mutually beneficial cross-fertilisation of the disciplines of philosophy and theology; the tendency to eschew powerful philosophical systems that might threaten to imprison theological ideas; a stress on both the providential limitations and reliability of human reason; a suspicion of reductive theories of a materialist inclination; and a determination to inspect critically the proposals of theology and to place these in positive relation to other disciplines.
