Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V2

By Samuel Alexander

Book Overview

Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V2 is a book written by Samuel Alexander, a renowned philosopher and professor of philosophy at the University of Manchester. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by Alexander at the University of Glasgow in 1915 and 1916, as part of the prestigious Gifford Lectures series. The lectures explore the fundamental concepts of space, time, and deity, and their relationship to one another. Alexander argues that space and time are not mere empty containers that hold objects and events, but rather are active forces that shape and determine the nature of reality. He also explores the nature of deity, arguing that it is not a personal or anthropomorphic entity, but rather a fundamental aspect of the universe itself.Throughout the book, Alexander draws on a wide range of philosophical, scientific, and religious traditions, including Kant, Darwin, and the Bible, to support his arguments. He also engages with the work of other prominent philosophers of his time, such as Bergson and Whitehead.Overall, Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V2 is a thought-provoking and influential work of philosophy that continues to be widely read and discussed today.1920.
