Peter Terry Book order

"Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892) is the founder of the Bahá'í Faith and 'Abdu'l-Bahá (1844-1921) is the Expounder of the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith. They were born in the vicinity of Tehran, Iran, and were deceased in the Holy Land. Many thousands of works were written by them, which are gradually emerging in English translations. Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá wrote and spoke about proofs of the existence of God. Peter Terry has collected and correlated their proofs, those he could find in English translations of the original Arabic and Persian sources. In order not to burden the reader with undue complexity, but to provide some explanation when it seemed appropriate, he has written some commentary. This commentary forms no part of the original and will no doubt be improved upon by other writers. This compilation and commentary has been assembled over the course of several years, with assistance from a number of authors and discussants, all of them fellow seekers after truth"-- Provided by publisher

Depending upon their epistemological foundations philosophical systems can be divided into five empiricist (Locke), rationalist (Descartes), intuitivist (Bergson), traditionalist (Confucius), and scriptural (Aquinas). In the history of philosophy there were five major waves of scriptural reasoning—Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. In this context Bahá’í philosophy represents the sixth wave, and it finds itself in a fruitful dialogue not only with the traditional forms of religious philosophy but also with modern Western thought which is based solely on reason and empirical observation.In this collection the reader will find articles on various aspects of Bahá’í philosophy—philosophical anthropology, philosophy of science, philosophy of culture, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, comparative and political philosophy, and, finally, history of philosophy. The authors of those articles—Bahá’í and non-Bahá’í scholars—reflect global aspirations of this religion by representing diverse countries of the world—USA, Canada, France, Italy, and Sweden. This collection of articles also introduces a Global Faith Book Series which publishes works on various aspects of the Bahá’í Faith and globalization.
