This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years. The work of English clergyman, educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.
Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has a...

Absolute Truth About Relativism: The Fundamental Delusion of Our Time

By: Breshears, Jefrey D.

Price: $3.50

Publisher: Areopagus The: March 2013

Seller ID: 339977

ISBN: 0983068054

Condition: Used - Very Good

The Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga writes that as a student at Yale the academic culture was wonderfully stimulating, free and open in most every respect but one: whenever the question, "What is the truth about this matter?" came up, it was usually dismissed as unsophisticated and naive. Obviously, Pilate's question to Jesus, "What is truth?" remains an open issue and an unsolvable riddle - if not a purely rhetorical question - to most of our current crop of cultural elites. As William Gairdner notes in The Book of Absolutes, "Ironically, relativism has become our only absolute."

I And Thou

Price: $3.50

Publisher: Free Press: June 1970

Seller ID: 40516

ISBN: 0684717255

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

Martin Buber's I and Thou has long been acclaimed as a classic. Many prominent writers have acknowledged its influence on their work; students of intellectual history consider it a landmark; and the generation born since World War II considers Buber as one of its prophets.
The need for a new English translation has been felt for many years. The old version was marred by many inaccuracies and misunderstandings, and its recurrent use of the archaic "thou" was seriously misleading. Now Professor Walter Kaufmann, a distinguished writer and philosopher in his own right who was close to ...

ISBN: 0877843430

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

Is there a God? How can we know? What can we know about God? These questions are the focal points of the philosophy of religion. C. Stephen Evans wrestles with these issues, looking at the classical arguments for God's existence and examining the contemporary challenges to theism from sociology, psychology and philosophy. He investigates the meaning and significance of personal religious experience, revelation and miracles, and looks at how religious pluralism relates to individual commitment.

***Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious

By: Dark

Price: $11.97

Publisher: IVP Books: February 2016

Seller ID: 339569

ISBN: 0830844465

Condition: New

For many of us, the word "religious" immediately evokes thoughts of brainwashing, violence and eye-rubbingly tiresome conversations. Why not be done with it? David Dark argues that it's not that simple. The ease with which we put the label on others without applying it to ourselves is an evasion, a way of avoiding awareness of our own messy allegiances. Dark writes: "If what we believe is what we see is what we do is who we are, there's no getting away from religion." Both incisive and entertaining, Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious combines Dark's keen powers of cultur...

Price: $19.99

Publisher: IVP Academic: January 2014

Seller ID: 329063

ISBN: 0830840362

Condition: New

What does it mean to know something? Can we have confidence in our knowledge? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. And yet few topics are more basic to human life. We are inquisitive creatures by nature, and the unending quest for truth leads us to raise difficult questions about the quest itself. What are the conditions, sources and limits of our knowledge? Do our beliefs need to be rationally justified? Can we have certainty? In this primer on epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide students through this discipline in philosophy. By asking basi...

From time to time we all face life's big questions . . .

What is real?
How do we know what we know?
What is right?
Who or what am I?
How should we view science and its claims?

Moreland understand this frustration and in this book offer help to make philosophy at least slightly less difficult. In straightforward language with everyday examples, they...

Free Will: A Philosophical Study (Focus Series)

By: Ekstrom, Laura Waddell

Price: $7.50

Publisher: Westview Press: December 1999

Seller ID: 334970

ISBN: 0813390931

Condition: Used - Very Good

In this comprehensive new study of human free agency, Laura Waddell Ekstrom critically surveys contemporary philosophical literature and provides a novel account of the conditions for free action. Ekstrom argues that incompatibilism concerning free will and causal determinism is true and thus the right account of the nature of free action must be indeterminist in nature. She examines a variety of libertarian approaches, ultimately defending an account relying on indeterministic causation among events and appealing to agent causation only in a reducible sense. Written in an engaging style and i...

Prelude to Philosophy: An Introduction for Christians

Price: $7.50

Publisher: IVP Academic: November 2013

Seller ID: 320404

ISBN: 0830839607

Condition: Used - Very Good

"The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life? Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. In the first ...

We Are All Philosophers: A Christian Introduction to Seven Fundamental Questions

By: Frame, John M.

Price: $15.99

Publisher: Lexham Press: August 2019

Seller ID: 336093

ISBN: 1683593103

Condition: New

Everyone is a philosopher, and how we live reveals what we most deeply believe.

If you and God were asked the same question, would you both respond in the same way?
Are Christians right to believe what we do?

In We Are All Philosophers, John M. Frame takes seven major questions of philosophy and compares the Bible's answers with common philosophical ones:

What is everything made of?
Do I have free will?
Can I know the world?
Does God exist?
How shall I live?
What are my rights?
How can I be saved?

The Tides of Mind: Uncovering the Spectrum of Consciousness

Condition: Used - Very Good

The holy grail of psychologists and scientists for nearly a century has been to understand and replicate both human thought and the human mind. In fact, it's what attracted the now-legendary computer scientist and AI authority David Gelernter to the discipline in the first place. As a student and young researcher in the 1980s, Gelernter hoped to build a program with a dial marked "focus." At maximum "focus," the program would "think" rationally, formally, reasonably. As the dial was turned down and "focus" diminished, its "mind" would start to wander, and as you dialed even lower, this arti...

Postmodern Times A Christian Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture

Condition: Used - Very Good

The modern era is over. Assumptions that shaped twentieth-century thought and culture, the bridges we crossed to this present moment, have blown up. The postmodern age has begun.

Just what is postmodernism? The average person would be shocked by its creed: Truth, meaning, and individual identity do not exist. These are social constructs. Human life has no special significance, no more value than animal or plant life. All social relationships, all institutions, all moral values are expressions and masks of the primal will to power.

Alarmingly, these ideas have gripped the natio...

People often talk about worldview when describing the philosophy that guides their lives. But how have we come by our worldviews, and what impact did Christianity have on those that are common to Western civilization? This authoritative, accessible survey traces the development of the worldviews that underpin the Western world. It demonstrates the decisive impact that the growth of Christianity had in transforming the outlook of pagan Roman culture into one that, based on biblical concepts of humanity and its relationship with God, established virtually all the positive aspects of Western c...
