The Argument, A Priori, For The Moral Attributes Of God is a philosophical treatise written by William Honyman Gillespie and first published in 1865. The book explores the concept of God's moral attributes and argues for their existence using a priori reasoning, which means that the argument is based on logical deduction rather than empirical evidence.Gillespie begins by defining the moral attributes of God, which include goodness, justice, and mercy. He then presents his argument for the existence of these attributes, which is based on the idea that they are necessary for God to be considered perfect. Gillespie argues that if God is perfect, then he must possess these moral attributes, as they are essential components of perfection.The book also explores various objections to the argument, including the idea that God's moral attributes are simply projections of human morality onto the divine. Gillespie counters this objection by arguing that human morality is derived from God's moral attributes, rather than the other way around.Overall, The Argument, A Priori, For The Moral Attributes Of God is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of God's moral attributes and their relationship to the concept of perfection. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the nature of God.Also Contains Serious Advice Of A Parent To His Children, Concerning The Errors Of The Day, By A Tradesman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
