Argument of a Priori for the Being and the Attributes is a philosophical book written by William Honyman Gillespie. The book presents an argument for the existence of God based on a priori reasoning, which means that it is based on logical deduction rather than empirical evidence. Gillespie argues that the concept of God is necessary for the coherence of human thought and language, and that this necessity can be demonstrated through logical analysis. He also examines various attributes of God, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and benevolence, and argues that these attributes are logically necessary for the concept of God to be coherent. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and is intended for readers with a background in philosophy or theology. Overall, Argument of a Priori for the Being and the Attributes is a rigorous and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of God and the limits of human reason.1910. After reading books published by Hume and Clarke, the author began a scientific process of independent inquiry into the existence of God. He gradually concentrated his attention on what he believed to be the best methods of proof. Finally adopting a method never before attempted, he started from the propositions, acknowledged by Atheists and Theists alike, that there is Infinity of Extension and Infinity of Duration. This book is the fruits of his inquiries and examination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
