A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy Such then are the moral difficulties, properly so called, that beset theism; but there are certain others of a vaguer nature, that we must glance at likewise. Is Life Worth Living? She did not propagate the pantheism of Spinoza or the theism of Francis Newman, because she did not regard them as so near the truth as the Christianity of Paul. George Eliot; a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings & Philosophy In the new theism of educated Indians we may note that the conception of the deity as female is practically gone. New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments After depriving theism of its prerogative of originality, Hume further takes away from it its fame as in every respect the best religion. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The dualistic species is the theism that reached its elaboration in the scholastic philosophy, while the monistic species is the pantheism spoken of sometimes simply as idealism, and sometimes as 'post-kantian' or 'absolute' idealism. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy A purely natural theism, with no organs of human speech, and with no machinery for making its spirit articulate, never has ruled men, and, so far as we can see, never possibly can rule them. Is Life Worth Living? In its pure form it is not even theism. American Hero-Myths A Study in the Native Religions of the Western Continent The new theism of educated India is more and more emphatically Christian theism. New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments In the multiplex theism of certain Christian churches, three entirely distinct deities consistent with only one. The Devil's Dictionary And orthodox theism has been so jealous of God's glory that it has taken pains to exaggerate everything in the notion of him that could make for isolation and separateness. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy But these affections are certainly not mere derivatives of theism. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature This was evidently a direct attempt on the part of an enlightened ruler to lift his people from a lower to a higher form of religion, from idolatry to theism. American Hero-Myths A Study in the Native Religions of the Western Continent Further, the theism that the educated Hindu is adopting as the basis of his religion approaches to Christian Theism. New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments Nothing appears more unmistakably in these letters than the ingrained theism of Stevenson’s way of thought. Robert Louis Stevenson: a record, an estimate, and a memorial The first way was that of the older dualistic theism, with ourselves represented as a secondary order of substances created by God. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy Over this point pantheism and theism, nature and second birth, works and grace and karma, immortality and reincarnation, rationalism and mysticism, carry on inveterate disputes. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature His is that terrible theism which can imagine nothing else but deity, and which denies altogether the outlines of human personality and human will. Heretics The writings of this school are recognizable by their evangelical style, their melancholy theism, and, above all, their enigmatical dialectics. System of Economical Contradictions; or, the Philosophy of Misery The first is God as an amphibious brute would imagine him: the second is noble Hebrew theism: the third is the Christian God of Love. Robert Browning: How to Know Him Mahomet, in combating the polytheism of his country, seems to have been desirous of restoring the primitive theism of Abraham, and his son Ishmael; yet this has now seventy-two sects. The System of Nature, Volume 2 They are on the elevated plane of that pure theism which is the kernel of the Hebrew faith. Outline of Universal History Are these oscillations between the personal and the impersonal, between pantheism and theism, between Spinoza and Leibnitz, to be regretted? Amiel's Journal But who does not see that this old quarrel between theism and materialism proceeds from a false notion of liberty and fatality, two terms which have been considered contradictory, though really they are not. System of Economical Contradictions; or, the Philosophy of Misery The diversity between theism and pantheism may be most simply and generally expressed in the following 'formula', in which the material universe is expressed by W, and the deity by G. Literary Remains, Volume 2 The religion of Abraham appears to have originally been a kind of theism, imagined to reform the superstition of the Chaldeans; Moses modified it, and gave it the Judaical form. The System of Nature, Volume 2 We are coming on the secret of a magic which sweeps out of men's minds all vestige of theism and beliefs which they and their fathers held and were framed upon. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 01, No. 01, November, 1857 A Magazine of Literature, Art, and Politics Historically a pure theism is all but impotent. Expositions of Holy Scripture St. John Chapters I to XIV What a wonderful word that is, so far above all the cold delusion of so-called theism! Expositions of Holy Scripture Isaiah and Jeremiah Deism and theism are compromises, and cannot live. Expositions of Holy Scripture The greater part of those philosophers who have been disposed to substitute theism for superstition, have not felt that it was formed to corrupt itself—to degenerate. The System of Nature, Volume 2 The fundamental characteristics of the Jewish religion are realism and optimism, views of the world which are closely allied; they form, in fact, the conditions of theism. The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; Religion, a Dialogue, Etc. When Kant had demolished all other arguments for theism, he admitted one only, that it gave the best interpretation and solution of such mysterious actions, and of all others like them. The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; On Human Nature I believe this to have been a corruption of original theism; many think it to have been a stage of upward growth in the religious sense of primitive man. Beacon Lights of History, Volume 01 The Old Pagan Civilizations Far from animism being the root of theism, more often it is rather the ivy that grows up about it, hides it and chokes it. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) These scoffers were good men, and their scoffs were protests against theology,—loud protests against the follies of Christianity; they had never heard of theism and the new and better religious thoughts of this age. Lectures and Essays For theism looks upon the material world as absolutely real, and regards life as a pleasant gift bestowed upon us. The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; Religion, a Dialogue, Etc. Yet it is probable that his theism went a little deeper than this. The Eve of the French Revolution He expressed his belief, as he had expressed it in 1869, that theism is not logically antagonistic to evolution. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 3 Such, in substance, is the argument from adaptability founded on the assumption of theism and applied to the criticism or establishment of further religious beliefs. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) His fits of downright atheism appear to have been transient; his settled belief was theism with a morality which, though he was not aware of it, he had really derived from the Gospel. Lectures and Essays They seem to be very like that theism or natural religion, which Christians profess to confound with atheism or irreligion which is their exact opposite. Emile Enough has been said of the theism of Rousseau to show its great difference from that of Voltaire and of his followers. The Eve of the French Revolution Now, the truth or the probability of Darwin's hypothesis is not here the question, but only its congruity or incongruity with theism. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism But so far as the argument presupposes theism it cannot be made to support or even confirm theism. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) His theism was not strong enough to save him from deep depression under misfortune; and we heard, on what we thought at the time good authority, that after Chancellorsville, he actually meditated suicide. Lectures and Essays None but parsons believe in "chance"; and the philosophical difficulties of Theism now are neither greater nor less than they have been ever since theism was invented. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 2 Voltaire and Rousseau were theists, with different sorts of faith, and the Philosophers, although treating all churches, and especially all priests, with contempt, had retained, at least in speech, some remnant of theism. The Eve of the French Revolution They all look upon theories of evolution either as in the way of being established or as not unlikely to prevail, and they confidently expect to lose thereby no solid ground for theism or religion. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism Can we show that it springs, co-ordinately with theism, from some conception prior to both? The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) It is pantheistic, and undoubtedly it has already blunted the edge of the traditional theism in protestantism at large. Pragmatism At the opposite pole, in antagonism to Christian theology and theism generally, stood Professor W.K. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 1 Voltaire's theism was little more than a remnant of early habit, strengthened by a notion that some sort of religion was necessary for purposes of police. The Eve of the French Revolution Either way he might meet a procrustean fate; and, although a saving amount of theism might remain, he would not be sound or comfortable. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism Indeed, of these two off-shoots, theism is less near to the common root, as will appear later. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) It is the lineal descendant, through one stage of concession after another, of the dogmatic scholastic theism still taught rigorously in the seminaries of the catholic church. Pragmatism It may be true that “the rites of the Ka’abah, emasculated of every idolatrous tendency, still hang a strange unmeaning shroud around the living theism of Islam.” Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah & Meccah — Volume 2 The cruellest among the countless cruel deeds of latter-day theism is to murder the Christ in women. God's Good Man Its application in particular is surrounded by similar insoluble difficulties; nevertheless, both are bound up with theism. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism But in this, its only intelligible form, it leaves the argument from adaptability intact, and even requires theism as its rational complement. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) Absolutism has a certain sweep and dash about it, while the usual theism is more insipid, but both are equally remote and vacuous. Pragmatism She had rejected Christian theism, because she could not understand how God had created the universe out of nothing. Beulah The supposed reign of Saturn was prior to that which is called the heathen mythology, and was so far a species of theism that it admitted the belief of only one God. Writings of Thomas Paine — Volume 4 (1794-1796): the Age of Reason By way of proving their theism they had cursed him with many oaths, and had so sorely beaten him that the shock was almost fatal. Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Edited by his friend Reuben Shapcott By prescinding from theism I do not mean to exclude or deny it; for it is, as I have just said, bound up with the same conception from which the "argument from adaptability" is drawn. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) Aspirants to a philosophic religion turn, as a rule, more hopefully nowadays towards idealistic pantheism than towards the older dualistic theism, in spite of the fact that the latter still counts able defenders. Pragmatism The idea of a Good Maker, once reached, becomes, perhaps, the germ of future theism, but, as Mr. Darwin says, the human mind was "infallibly led to various strange superstitions". Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 Paine's theism, however invested with biblical and Christian phraseology, was a birthright. Writings of Thomas Paine — Volume 4 (1794-1796): the Age of Reason I happened to hear once an atheist discoursing on the follies of theism. Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Edited by his friend Reuben Shapcott Now, for mind in the abstract, theism is really as much a presupposition of that fact, as the predicted truth is a consequence of it. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) It is in this wider sense of the word that materialism is opposed to spiritualism or theism. Pragmatism A crowd of venal, easy-going, serviceable deities has now been evolved out of ghosts, and Animism is on its way to supplant or overlay a rude early form of theism. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 The very deepest thing, and the most absolutely inexpugnable thing, in every human heart is its theism; its original and inextinguishable convictions about itself and about God. Bunyan Characters (2nd Series) That sentence need not offend an admirer of Walt Whitman, for he "accepts both theism and the doctrine of the future life." Study of the King James Bible There have been at various times several philosophies or attempted explanations of the world, which have either denied or prescinded from theism and finality. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) Over against it stands 'theism,' or what in a wide sense may be termed 'spiritualism.' Pragmatism The more animism the less theism, is the general rule. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 Its true complement is theism and finality, which flow from it as naturally, if not quite so immediately as the "argument from adaptability." The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) In like manner it might have been, that God willed to let men wander through the slums and backways of animism into the open road of theism. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) To find our own theism and morality among savages is therefore impossible; for as the crooked stick is unto the steam-plough, so is the god of the savage unto the God of Great Britain. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) Thus if no future detail of experience or conduct is to be deduced from our hypothesis, the debate between materialism and theism becomes quite idle and insignificant. Pragmatism In this unfinished world the alternative of 'materialism or theism?' is intensely practical; and it is worth while for us to spend some minutes of our hour in seeing that it is so. Pragmatism But apply now our principle of practical results, and see what a vital significance the question of materialism or theism immediately acquires. Pragmatism |
