English clergyman, utilitarian, and philosopher, William Paley (1743 - 1805), is best known for his natural theology explanation of the teleological argument for the existence of God. This argument centers around the idea that things in the natural world function on such a complex level, that there must be a higher power. Complete in two volumes.
