Produktbeschreibung

An Agnostic's Progress: From The Known To The Unknown is a philosophical book published in 1884 by an anonymous author. The book explores the concept of agnosticism, which is the belief that the existence of God or any higher power cannot be proven or disproven. The author takes the reader on a journey through their own personal exploration of agnosticism, from their initial skepticism to their eventual acceptance of the unknown. Throughout the book, the author discusses various philosophical and scientific arguments for and against the existence of God, including the problem of evil, the teleological argument, and the cosmological argument. They also delve into the history and evolution of religious beliefs, examining the role of religion in society and its impact on human behavior. The author emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and rational inquiry in the pursuit of truth, and encourages readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions. They argue that agnosticism offers a more honest and humble approach to understanding the universe, as it acknowledges the limitations of human knowledge and the vastness of the unknown. Overall, An Agnostic's Progress: From The Known To The Unknown is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of agnosticism and its implications for human understanding and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt

The author of The Mabinogion is unknown, as the stories were passed down through Welsh oral tradition before being recorded in medieval manuscripts. They were later preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, two 14th-century texts. Though the scribes remain unnamed, their work safeguarded Wales's rich mythological heritage.These tales draw from ancient Celtic mythology, heroic sagas, and supernatural folklore. They reflect the cultural and political landscape of early Wales, blending history with legend. While the original storytellers are lost to time, their influence endures.In the 19th century, Lady Charlotte Guest translated and popularized The Mabinogion, introducing it to a wider English-speaking audience. Her work helped establish the text as a foundational piece of medieval literature and revived interest in Welsh mythology. Thanks to her efforts and the nameless scribes before her, The Mabinogion continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, preserving the voice of a lost era.
