Christ and the Jewish Law is a book written by Robert Mackintosh in 1886. The book explores the relationship between Jesus Christ and the Jewish Law, particularly in the context of the New Testament. Mackintosh examines the different interpretations of the Law during the time of Christ, as well as the teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. He also delves into the various controversies that arose during Christ's ministry, such as the issue of Sabbath observance and the question of divorce. Mackintosh argues that Christ's teachings represented a new and higher standard of morality, one that transcended the legalistic approach of the Jewish Law. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context of the New Testament in order to fully appreciate the message of Christ. Overall, Christ and the Jewish Law is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between religion and morality, and the enduring legacy of Christ's teachings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""From Comte to Benjamin Kidd: The Appeal to Biology or Evolution for Human Guidance"" is a book written by Robert MacKintosh. The book explores the evolution of social theory, specifically the shift from the positivist philosophy of Auguste Comte to the biological and evolutionary theories of Benjamin Kidd. MacKintosh examines the influence of biology and evolution on social theory and argues that these ideas have been used to justify social inequality and oppression. He also critiques the idea that biology can provide a basis for moral guidance and argues for a more ethical approach to social theory. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical context and philosophical debates surrounding the use of biology and evolution in social theory, making it a valuable resource for scholars of sociology, philosophy, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Robert Mackintosh (1858-1933), a professor at the Congregationalist Lancashire Independent College, traces the influence of biology and evolutionism on the study of human ethics and society during the second half of the nineteenth century in this 1899 book. He begins with Comte's founding of sociology, and continues with the renewed appeal to biology for the understanding of human affairs found in the work of Darwin, Spencer and their circle. He then looks at Benjamin Kidd's Social Evolution, published in 1894 (and also reissued in this series). Fifty years after Comte, Kidd argued that sociology required further grounding by a new recourse to biology. Mackintosh supported Kidd's view. If biological clues are to afford guidance for human conduct, Mackintosh contended, they must be supplemented by a clearer moral and religious vision, and in philosophy by some scheme of metaphysical evolutionism. His work marks a transition from Darwinism to a new Hegelianism.
