Louis P. Pojman

Religious Belief and the Will (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Can we ever achieve belief by a direct act of will? If it will help us to be happier, should we make ourselves believe propositions which the evidence alone does not warrant? These are the sort of questions which Professor Pojman examines in Religious Belief and the Will (originally published in 1986).

Autorenporträt

Louis P. Pojman was Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus from the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he was a professor for nine years. In 2004-5, he was a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, Cambridge University, UK, where he became a Life-Fellow. Pojman was best known perhaps for presenting extremely balanced perspectives in his writings on a variety of some of the most controversial and challenging contemporary issues, including abortion, affirmative action, and the death penalty. He endeavored to explain why people disagree on such issues and presented the roots of the ideas, teachings and writings that help build an understanding of these differing viewpoints so that the reader can reflect on his or her own point of view on various issues.
