Description
William McDougall's Modern Materialism and Emergent Evolution explores the fundamental conflict between religion and science. He argues that modern materialism fails to explain human action mechanistically, and instead proposes purposive action as a distinct type of event.
This book justifies the belief in teleological causation, which is essential for understanding both religion and morals. It will be of interest to students of psychology, philosophy, and the Humanities, offering insights into the nature of human action and its relationship with science.
