Produktinformationen zu „An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent (ePub)“
In 'An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent', John Henry Newman navigates the intricate relationship between faith and reason, proffering a nuanced account of how belief is cemented in the human mind beyond the confines of empirical evidence and deductive logic. Newman's work is characterized by its probing philosophical inquiries, lucid prose, and a literary context that engages with the intellectual currents of his day, particularly the tension between religious faith and emergent scientific skepticism. His thesis places particular emphasis on the concept of 'the illative sense', a faculty of reason oriented towards the non-formal inference that informs our convictions where proof is elusive.
John Henry Newman, a cardinal and significant figure in nineteenth-century religious thought, was deeply invested in theology, ecclesiology, and the philosophy of religion. His intellectual journey, much of which grappled with the development of doctrine and the role of faith in an increasingly empirical world, precipitated the rich insights found in this work. 'An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent' reveals Newman's commitment to reconciling the oft-perceived chasm between reason and religious belief, arising from his own personal transformation from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism.
This seminal text is recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration into the dynamics of belief, the validity of religious assent, and the broader interface between faith and reason. Newman's delineation of assent through a framework that acknowledges the full spectrum of human cognition presents a compelling argument for the compatibility of rational thought with the commitments of faith. 'An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent' remains a cornerstone contribution to the philosophy of religion and an indispensable resource for anyone looking to comprehend the complexities of how we come to hold our deepest convictions.

Autoren-Porträt von John Henry Newman
John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was a theologian, poet, and eminent figure in the religious history of England, whose conversion to Roman Catholicism was a significant event in the religious life of the time. Newman started his career as an Anglican clergyman and later became a leader of the Oxford Movement, which sought to return the Church of England to its Catholic roots. His seminal work, 'An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent' (1870), is an examination of the philosophical basis for belief in God. It reflects Newman's own journey towards faith, arguing that belief is not solely the product of logical argument but also involves personal and psychological dimensions of assent. Newman's literary style is characterized by a meticulous approach to religious and philosophical questions, blending a deep sense of history with a profound understanding of theology. His eloquence and precision in language have marked him as one of the leading prose writers of the 19th century. Newman was also an influential figure in the development of Catholic educational thought and the founder of the Catholic University of Ireland. For his contributions to theology and education, he was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010. Newman's legacy remains influential through his diverse literary and theological works, including his famous 'Apologia Pro Vita Sua' and 'The Idea of a University.'
