Excerpt from The Substance of a Discourse, in Two Parts: Delivered in the Meeting-House of the First Baptist Church in Lexington, February 3, 1822; To the Class of the Medical School of Transylvania University If it be asked why I am so much in earnest upon the subject of revealed religion I answer, that the God of the Bible may be regarded as the God of nature, and that our opinions and sentiments of him and ourselves be formed in accordance with his character and the relation we sustain to him as he has revealed them for a man may live all his life ignorant of God and of himself and be a philosopher too.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Prominent in the canonical texts and traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is the claim that God speaks. Nicholas Wolterstorff argues that contemporary speech-action theory, when appropriately expanded, offers us a fascinating way of interpreting this claim and showing its intelligibility. He develops an innovative theory of double-hermeneutics - along the way opposing the current near-consensus led by Ricoeur and Derrida that there is something wrong-headed about interpreting a text to find out what its author said. Wolterstorff argues that at least some of us are entitled to believe that God has spoken. Philosophers have never before, in any sustained fashion, reflected on these matters, mainly because they have mistakenly treated speech as revelation.

Excerpt from The Substance of a Discourse: Delivered in the Presbyterian Church of South Salem, Westchester Co., N. Y., November 29, 1856 But the reproach which attaches to this sin, is not confined to individual and social life. It exerts directly and indirectly an incalculable influence upon the Public Affairs of the Country. The moral consequences of the universal thirst for gain is felt in all the departments of government. As its selfish ends induce the disre gard of personal and social duties, so they lead to the neglect and violation of civil and political obligations. Its intense application leaves no time to devote to the common interests Of citizenship. Gain asks to be let alone in the prosecution Of its selfish ends, and relinquishes the highest aims of government to other hands. Add to this, the indifference of many good men to the honors of office, their aversion to partizan wrangling, and their criminal neglect of political duties, and the wide-spread corruption Ofpolitics, proceeding from Opposite sources, is explained. But that disregard of these Obligations which attend the vehement pursuit of gain is less ex ensable than any other, because the defence which it sets up is entirely selfish. Men who have a taste for serving the people, and a disrelish for labor, push themselves forward; and demagogues are thus lifted into place and power. The injuries which such men are capable of inflicting upon the Country are incalculable for it is never safe to confide important interests to corrupt hands. N O barrier is impregnable to their insidious assaults. They reduce the science of politics to a contraband trade in offices and emoluments. The safeguards of liberty which patriotism would vigilantly defend, they covertly invade, or openly disregard.

This book is about the so called “4S” challenge – how does or can or should someone say something to someone about something? This challenge is getting more intense day by day in our contemporary globalized world, increasingly connected by science and technology through telecommunication and all sorts of social media, where people are acutely aware of the diverse views on culture, politics, economics, religion, ethics, education, physical health and mental wellbeing, which are very often in conflicts with each other. This book arises from the reading of the dialogue between two internationally renowned and respected French scholars, Jean-Pierre Changeux and Paul Ricoeur, What Makes Us Think? A Neuroscientist and a Philosopher Argue about Ethics, Human Nature, and the Brain, which explores where science and philosophy meet, and whether there is a place for religion in the 21st century. This book develops on the ideas Ricoeur raised in the dialogue about the need for “digging deeper” and a “third discourse” as a way forward to improve dialogues between competing worldviews and ideologies. It attempts to formulate a “third discourse” (as distinct from ordinary language as “first discourse” and various scientific or professional/specialist languages as “second discourse”) to address the burning issue of fragmentation of the person through overcoming the alienations between established discourses of philosophy, science and theology, without doing injustice to the unique and indispensable contributions of each of these discourses. It argues that such a “third discourse” has to go beyond dualism and reductionism. To achieve that, this new way of talking about the lived experience of the person is going to take the form of a non-reductive correlative multilayered discourse that has the capacity to, as expressed in the language of the hermeneutics of Ricoeur, “explain more in order to understand better.”
