Book Description
Can philosophy offer reasonable grounds for the existence of a God as the center of actual faith, rather than just a theoretical Absolute? Timothy Sprigge offers a fascinating exploration of the metaphysical systems of a diverse range of philosophers, from Spinoza and Hegel to T. H. Green and Josiah Royce, testing objections to what might be called "metaphysical religion" against the systems of these distinguished thinkers. In the process, Sprigge offers a compelling new defense of a highly unfashionable Idealist worldview.
Review
"The subtitle of this beautifully produced book says it all, T.L.S. Sprigge has long been recognized as our principal authority on absolute idealism... Provocative and even eccentric... The God of Metaphysics is nevertheless a wonderfully lucid book. It deserves a readership well beyond professional philosophical circles. Fergus Kerr, TLS ...this book offers a vast, sprawling metaphysical world in which to immerse oneself. For all its disciplined density of argumentation, austerity of abstraction and masterly intellectual control it is vitally, passionately personal and, curiously, both diffident and breathtakingly ambitious in what it advocates." -- Philosophy, Volume 82
`Sprigge is a clear, engaging and imaginative writer.' -- Faith and Freedom
