"The Philosophy of Natural Theology" by William Jackson is a philosophical essay written in the late 19th century. The work was developed as a prize-winning essay at Oxford, confuting contemporary materialism and skepticism through the lens of natural theology. It discusses the existence of a Supreme Being and the implications of moral responsibility intertwined with human existence. The opening of the essay lays the groundwork for Jackson’s exploration of two fundamental human inquiries: the existence of a future life and the belief in a Supreme Being. He frames these questions as essential to human thought and societal well-being, illustrating that the instinctual belief in immortality and a higher moral authority is intrinsic across cultures. Jackson then critiques modern skepticism by presenting arguments that counter materialism, emphasizing the interplay between external observations of the universe and internal moral consciousness, setting up a methodical approach to explore these topics meaningfully.
