Modern Materialism: Its Attitude Towards Theology, A Critique And Defense (1876) by James Martineau is a book that explores the relationship between materialism and theology. Martineau, a prominent theologian and philosopher of the 19th century, offers a critical analysis of the materialist worldview and its impact on religious thought.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed critique of materialism, examining its philosophical foundations, its claims about the nature of reality, and its implications for religious belief. Martineau argues that materialism is fundamentally flawed and incompatible with theological thought, as it reduces all phenomena to physical processes and denies the existence of any spiritual or supernatural realm.In the second part of the book, Martineau offers a defense of theology against the challenges posed by materialism. He argues that theology provides a necessary framework for understanding the meaning and purpose of human existence, and that it offers a more comprehensive and satisfying account of reality than materialism can provide.Throughout the book, Martineau draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments, and engages with the ideas of prominent materialist thinkers such as Ludwig Feuerbach and Karl Marx. Modern Materialism: Its Attitude Towards Theology, A Critique And Defense is a significant work of 19th century theology and philosophy, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the relationship between science, religion, and materialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
