Meer over het boek

John Stuart Mill's essays explore the complexities of religious belief, presenting a critical analysis of the nature of existence. He grapples with the concept of a divine designer, asserting that the violence and unpredictability of nature challenge the notion of an all-powerful, benevolent creator. Mill's reflections suggest that the world is not governed by a perfectly moral force, highlighting the inconsistencies in the design of nature and its implications for understanding faith and morality.
