Inhaltsangabe
This illuminating book explores the nature of our existence and the sources and limitations of our knowledge. The author delves into the foundational principles of human cognition and argues that we are not passive recipients of information but actively shape and interpret the world around us through the lens of our innate ideas. By examining these primitive notions, the book challenges the prevailing materialist view of the mind and highlights the crucial role of rationality and intuition in our understanding of reality. The author draws upon a wealth of philosophical and scientific insights to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion, ultimately revealing the profound significance of our intellectual endeavors in shaping our perception of the human condition and the cosmos that surrounds us.

Excerpt from Science, Philosophy and Religion: Lectures Delivered Before the Lowell Institute, Boston
The plan of the lectures and their merit, whatever this may be, centre here, and are commended to un sparing, yet fair and searching, criticism. If these. Lectures shall serve, even by a little, to deepen our impression of our powers, and our sense of hope in their handling, a chief object will be reached. We believe in the unspeakable elevation of our spiritual nature, and are willing often to Shift the View, if so be, through clouds and mists, we may catch some more distinct prospect Of those heights on which it is our earliest and latest effort to plant the feet Of men.
