Lay Sermons And Addresses - Edward Caird - Bog

Lay Sermons and Addresses: Delivered in the Hall of Balliol College, Oxford is a collection of sermons and speeches given by Edward Caird, a Scottish philosopher and theologian, during his time as Master of Balliol College at the University of Oxford. The book includes 12 sermons and addresses, covering topics such as religion, ethics, education, and the role of the university in society. Caird's writing is characterized by his philosophical and theological insights, as well as his ability to connect these ideas to contemporary issues and concerns. The book is intended for a general audience, and is written in a clear and accessible style. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of philosophy, theology, and education, and provides insights into the intellectual climate of Oxford during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Caird Was One Of The First Generation Of British Idealists, Whose Philosophical Work Was Largely In Reaction To The Then-Dominant Empiricist And Associations Views Of Alexander Bain (1818-1903) And J.S. Mill. He Had, However, An Ability Of Literary Expression Which Green Did Not Possess; He Was Also More Inclined To Discuss Questions By The Method Of Tracing The Historical Development Of The Ideas Involved. But While Green Died At The Early Age Of 47, Caird Enjoyed A Relatively Long And Productive Life. It Is, In Part, For This Reason That He Exercised Such A Strong Influence, Particularly On The Relation Of Philosophy And Religion On Later Idealists Such As John Watson (1847-1939) And Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923). Though Often Considered To Be'Hegelian, Caird Was Arguably More Profoundly Influenced By Kant, Though He Was Far From An Uncritical Reader.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
