George J. Lucas / George JLucas
''Agnosticism and Religion'' by George J. Lucas is a comprehensive examination of the concept of agnosticism, its history, and its relationship with religion. The book begins with a detailed history of agnosticism, tracing its origins and development from the ancient Greeks to the modern era. The author then turns his attention to the philosophy of Herbert Spencer, particularly his concept of the ''Religion of the Unknowable''. Lucas provides a critical analysis of Spencer’s ideas, arguing that they are flawed and inconsistent. He also explores the broader implications of Spencer’s philosophy for agnosticism and religion more generally. Throughout the book, Lucas draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophy, theology, and history, to provide a nuanced and insightful account of this complex and fascinating subject. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of agnosticism, the philosophy of religion, or the relationship between faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
