Excerpt from What Should I Believe?: An Inquiry Into the Nature, Grounds and Value of the Faiths of Science, Society, Morals and Religion
When we come to examine matters of politi cal and social theory and practice, we need not be long in discovering that the strongest forces controlling here are the beliefs rather than the science of mankind. Debates in representative bodies the world over are not statements of truths verily known and accompanied by their proofs; they are more largely muddles of un analyzed beliefs and crude unverified opinions. Of the causes of these opinions those who hold them can give little account; and the reasons for them have never been subjected to any thorough examination or prepared for legiti mate defence. In the less deliberate and guarded forms of the social maxims and social customs, the beliefs rather than the knowledges of the human beings who compose the social factors have much the larger sway.

Excerpt from What Should I Believe? An Inquiry Into the Nature, Grounds and Value, of the Faiths of Science, Society, Morals and Religion
There are no questions bearing on the conduct of life which are more frequently asked, or with greater perplexity, than the one that has been chosen for the title of this little volume. All over the world millions of inquiring minds, some of them sincerely anxious to know the truth, are daily propounding this question to the newspaper, not only to its columns of alleged news, but chiefly to its advertisements and its editorials. The man of business, however little speculative, does not expect positively to know in what direction the market will move along the line which constitutes his principal interest; but he seeks for as persuasive grounds as it is possible to attain, by which to regulate his beliefs.
