A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

But, in the place of this, the theology of credulity, there is arising an altogether different one, the theology of science. This is not an attempt to circumvent persecuting bigots by verbally retaining God as an objective being, and then getting rid of him as an actuality by the method of definition according to the fashion of Spinoza, Hegel, D. G. Ritchie, Harald Hoffding, and R. J. Campbell. It is a frank application to theistic beliefs of that method of causa -tional explanation which has been the main factor in the growth of modern knowledge. Men are beginning to recognize that, though the supernatural is beyond their ken, though they cannot know even whether, beyond the order of nature, there is or is not anything to be known ;nevertheless the visions and concepts which their fathers have projected on the dark boundary screen of the knowable are natural phenomena, like all else within our experience, and may be sorted out, arranged in order, and traced to their phenomenal antecedents, like fossils, and plants, and diseases, and rates of wages, and civil laws. A deity who, regarded as an objectively existent personality, would be supernatural, becomes part of that great complex of orderly relations which we call nature, when looked at as a subjective phenomenon as a product of the human mind.
