James: The Number of the Eternally Damned

Zitat

Veröffentlicht am von

„Among other obstacles to his optimistic philosophy, it falls to Leibnitz to consider the number of the eternally damned. That it is infinitely greater, in our human case, than that of those saved he assumes as a premise from the theologians, and then proceeds to argue in this way.“ (p. 24f) #James #EternallyDamned #Leibnitz #Leibniz

Zitat

„IT appears to me, that if we consider the improvement of human society, from rude beginnings to a state of greater perfection, polytheism or idolatry was, and necessarily must have been, the first and most antient religion of mankind.“ (Diss. I, §1) #Hume #polytheism #idolatry
