Description
James Foster’s The Problem of God in Thomas Reid provides a comprehensive analysis of the Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid’s engagement with fundamental questions about God’s existence and nature. Reid, a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, developed distinctive philosophical responses to challenges posed by empiricist skepticism and materialism.
This volume examines Reid’s arguments for God’s existence, his epistemological framework, and how his common sense philosophy addresses traditional theological problems. Foster explores Reid’s critiques of Hume’s skepticism and his alternative approaches to natural theology. The book situates Reid’s thought within the historical development of modern philosophy and demonstrates his continuing relevance to contemporary discussions in philosophy of religion.
As part of the Elements in the Problems of God series, this work contributes to ongoing scholarly debates about how classical and modern philosophers have conceptualized the relationship between reason, experience, and belief in God.
