The Human Situation: The Gifford Lectures Delivered in the University of Glasgow, 1935-1937
This volume presents a series of lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow under the prestigious Gifford Lectures series, which invites scholars to address topics related to natural theology. The lectures explore fundamental questions about human nature, the relationship between mind and body, and the conditions of human experience. The work engages with philosophical traditions and scientific perspectives available in the mid-1930s, offering a sustained reflection on what it means to be human. The Gifford Lectures, established in 1887, have hosted numerous influential thinkers, and this particular series contributes to that tradition of serious inquiry into metaphysical and existential questions. more
