Description: James Kiefer discusses Butler's arguments against Deism.
Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Theologian Butler was born in 1692 and ordained in 1718. In 1726 he published preached at the Rolls Chapel in London, and chiefly dealing with human nature and its implications for ethics and practical Christian life. He maintained that it is normal for a man to have an instinct of self-interest, which leads him to seek his own good, and equally normal for him to have an instinct of benevolence, which leads him to seek the good of others individually and generally, and that the two aims do not in fact conflict.
