A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God: Enriched edition. Revisiting God's Existence: A Philosophical Journey

In 'A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God,' Charles Sanders Peirce presents a philosophical inquiry into the existence of God through a unique lens of pragmatism and semiotics. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century American thought, Peirce challenges the prevailing skepticism of his time, advocating for a conception of faith that harmonizes scientific inquiry with metaphysical inquiry. This work is characterized by its meticulous attention to logical argumentation, deftly weaving together complex notions of belief, doubt, and the pragmatic implications of religious experience, offering a profound reflection on the role of faith in both personal and communal contexts. Peirce, a notable figure in the development of pragmatist philosophy, drew heavily from his background in logic and mathematics, as well as his interest in semeiotics'—the study of signs and symbols. His experiences, including a blend of scientific rigor and philosophical inquiry, inform his exploration of religious belief, enabling him to articulate a robust framework for understanding faith not merely as an abstract notion but as a dynamic component of human life. This book is essential for anyone interested in philosophy of religion, as it challenges readers to reconsider the intersections of faith and reason. Peirce's profound insights encourage a dialogue that transcends traditional apologetics, making this work indispensable for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between belief and reality.
