Religion and Science in Their Relation to Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Religion and Science in Their Relation to Philosophy

The following essay was prepared originally as a paper to be read before the Philosophical Society of Washington, under the title of "The Present State of the Sciences," and with the understanding that it would traverse in a philosophical spirit the ground occupied by the recent Address of Dr. Tyndall to the British Association at Belfast.

Numerous requests for it in a more permanent form having been received since its publication by the "New York Tribune" for November the 7th ult., the author has taken the opportunity to revise it and insert some additional matter which could not be brought within the limits of the original occasion. No attempt, however, has been made to unfold the themes presented, as it is his hope to treat of them in an extended work, projected since the year 1860, and designed to exhibit the Harmony of Science and Revealed Religion as fundamental and preliminary to the Final Philosophy or Theory of Perfectible Science.
