Sobre IBD

The Wish To Believe is a book written by Wilfrid Philip Ward in 1885, which discusses the mindset that a reasonable person should have when undertaking religious inquiry. The book is a philosophical exploration of the role of faith and reason in religious belief, and it argues that the desire to believe is an essential part of human nature. Ward contends that religious faith is not a matter of blind acceptance, but rather a rational and deliberate choice that requires a certain temperament of mind. He examines the role of reason, evidence, and personal experience in religious belief, and considers the objections raised by skeptics and atheists. The Wish To Believe is a thoughtful and thought-provoking work that remains relevant to contemporary discussions of faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
