""Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V1"" is a book written by Samuel Alexander, a prominent philosopher and metaphysician of the early 20th century. The book is a collection of lectures that Alexander delivered at the University of Glasgow as part of the prestigious Gifford Lecture series. In the book, Alexander explores the nature of reality, focusing on the concepts of space, time, and deity. He argues that these three concepts are intimately connected and that a proper understanding of one requires an understanding of the others. Alexander begins by examining the nature of space and time, arguing that they are not independent entities but rather aspects of a single unified reality. He then turns his attention to the concept of deity, which he defines as the ultimate source of all existence. Throughout the book, Alexander draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific ideas, including the work of Immanuel Kant, Albert Einstein, and Henri Bergson. He also engages with religious and mystical traditions, arguing that they offer valuable insights into the nature of reality. ""Space, Time and Deity: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow V1"" is a challenging and thought-provoking work that continues to be widely read and discussed today.
