Synopsis
FIRST LECTURE. DELIVERED AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION, FEBRUARY 19, 1870. X^7"HEN I undertook for the first time to deliver a course of lectures in this Institution, I chose for my subject the Science of Language. What I then had at heart was to show to you, and to the world at large, that the comparative study of the principal languages of mankind was based on sound and scientific principles, and that it had brought, to light results which deserved a larger share of public interest than they had as yet received. I tried to convince not only scholars by profession, but historians, theologians, and philosophers, nay everybody who had once felt the charm of gazing inwardly upon the secret workings of his own mind, veiled and revealed as they are in the flowing folds of language,

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of lectures initially delivered at the Royal Institution in 1870, delving into the concept of a science of religion. The author argues that while the study of comparative linguistics has achieved great strides using scientific principles, the same approach can and should be applied to the study of religions. The author sets out to prove a science of religion is not only possible but essential to obtaining a clearer understanding of the origins and development of religious beliefs and practices. The author delves into the etymology of words like 'religion' and 'faith', defining them not just as belief systems but also positing 'faith' as an inherent human faculty, and places the study of religion within its philosophical and historical contexts. The book discusses the benefits and challenges of a comparative approach to religion, addressing fears that such an approach undermines the sanctity of any particular religious tradition, and emphasizes that a scientific study of religion need not detract from reverence for an individual's personal beliefs or practices. The author argues that the insights gained from a comparative study of religions are significant and can potentially lead to greater tolerance, understanding, and appreciation of divergent belief systems.
