The book "Theism and Humanism. The Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow, 1914" was written by the eminent British philosopher and politician Arthur James Balfour. In his lectures, he examines the relationship between theism (belief in a higher power) and humanism (human-centrism) through the prism of philosophical debates and religious views. The author reasonedly discusses the essence of the religious-humanist worldview, trying to answer the question of man's place in the universe and his relationship with the supernatural. The book invites the reader to reflect on eternal questions about the meaning of existence, morality and spirituality through the prism of various philosophical approaches, which became the basis for further research in the field of religion and humanism.
