Synopsis
This thought-provoking book examines the nature of reason and its role in human life. Drawing on historical and contemporary perspectives, the author argues that reason is not merely a tool for logical argument but also a fundamental aspect of our moral compass. The book explores the challenges to reason posed by utilitarianism, scientism, and various forms of obscurantism. It delves into the paradoxes of life, such as the tension between determinism and free will, and the limitations of human understanding when confronted with the ultimate questions of existence. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of pursuing reason as a means of achieving a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world around us, and our place within it. By embracing reason, we not only sharpen our intellect but also cultivate a sense of justice and a commitment to truth-seeking.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Originally published in 1910, this is a volume of philosophy by an author who found his main calling in the creation of novels, Charles Francis Keary (1848–1917). Unusual in its relatively personal exploration of ideas, together with its accessible, literary style, the text nonetheless maintains an academically rigorous approach to its exploration of the boundaries of reason. The fundamental premise is that mental processes generally thought to be based on intuition can, more accurately, be seen to find their basis in reasoning; this premise, in turn, forms the basis for an exposition of Keary's philosophy of life and religion. This is a highly readable, and critically underrated, book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy and theology.
