F. (Benjamin Franklin) 1821 1883 Cocker, Benjamin Franklin 20006268 The Theistic Conception of the World An Essay in Opposition to Certain Tendencies of Modern Thought Produced by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Robert Morse, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net. "The Theistic Conception of the World" by B. F. Cocker is an essay written in the late 19th century that delves into the philosophical and theological debates surrounding modern thought, particularly in opposition to emerging atheistic and pantheistic viewpoints. The work aims to affirm the existence of a personal God against the backdrop of arguments that challenge the foundation of religious beliefs, arguing for the necessity of a theistic interpretation of existence. The opening of the essay outlines the fundamental concerns regarding the state of modern thought, emphasizing a state of disillusionment with traditional religious beliefs and representing a shift towards skepticism. Cocker identifies a growing trend where personal conceptions of God and religion are being dismissed, leading to philosophical inquiries that seek to replace God with concepts like the 'Cosmos.' The author presents this essay as a response to these questions, aiming to provide a robust argument for the existence of a Creator and the moral implications of such a belief, ultimately asserting that understanding God is essential for comprehending the universe and human existence.
