Books by Jonathan Finch

This study of pre-1850 church monuments from Norfolk, aims to marry together the understanding of material artefacts developed in archaeology, with the detailed topographical, social and economic knowledge of a particular region, built up through landscape studies and local history, in a study of church monuments. As such, it stands out from the vast bulk of work on the subject, which is carried out within the discipline of art history.

Some Thoughts on Thinking is a work dealing with the issues one faces when one attempts to construct non-arbitrary beliefs about ourselves and our surroundings. The text opens up with a discussion of the similarities and differences between science, theology, philosophy and tradition. This initial discussion provides the foundation for a deeper push into what is, and what is not, a recommendable and non-arbitrary belief. No previous exposure to philosophy is assumed and the language of the work is free of complex philosophical terms.

This book presents a self-corrective and contemporary system of philosophy and attempts to explain how we might go about forming our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, our world and how we should properly conduct ourselves in a justifiable and non-arbitrary fashion.
