{"product_id":"philosophical-foundations-of-christian-science","title":"Philosophical Foundations of Christian Science","description":"Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) is best known for founding the religion of Christian Science - an international institution which has extended beyond her lifetime and into the twenty-first century. Often labelled as fringe theology, rather than core philosophy, Eddy's work has remained on the peripheries of academia. Her unmitigated idealism, and occasionally nebulous style, have led to a reluctance to apply a philosophical rigour to her thinking. In The Philosophical Foundations of Christian Science, Nicholas Sheldon rediscovers her as a radical philosopher, one of many female philosophers of her time who, he contends, should no longer be underestimated. \nCarefully analysing her non-linear style in order to understand her internal system of thought, Sheldon resolves flaws within her argument, and draws out Christian Science's remarkable philosophical assertion: that it is not only illness and suffering which are unreal, but the entire physical realm. For Eddy, it is only the spiritual which remains.","brand":"James Clarke \u0026 Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283354894680,"sku":"9780227180457","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780227180457_76ebb940-426d-4d58-9525-95d8d4a2cfd0.jpg?v=1778668248","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/philosophical-foundations-of-christian-science","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
