Book excerpt: Excerpt: WHAT we call matter is known to us only when it has been sublimated in the soul's alembic, and so the visible universe is a symbol of the Infinite Spirit. Reason springs from conscious communion with the Eternal, the Absolute, the Perfect. Its roots are in the real and permanent, as distinguished from the apparent and transitory. Where there is no self-consciousness there is no truth, no goodness, no beauty. Self-consciousness is born of the union of subject and object. When we view the external world what we perceive is the impressions it makes on us. The self, then, being at once subject and object, grows in power and dignity in proportion to the worth of the things it habitually contemplates, and to the intimacy and completeness of its communion with them. Hence the value of life for each one is determined by the self, which makes him what he is; and the self is fed and fashioned by what he ponders, admires, loves, and does. If he lives for what is material merely, he has no true self, since the self is essentially spiritual. If he lives subservient to instinct and appetite he has but an animal, an apparent self. The element of the true self is moral freedom, which is born of obedience to reason and conscience, which exists for those alone who live in conscious communion with the Eternal Creative Spirit. When we think God we think ourselves in and with Him; are made conscious of the self as formed and nourished by the ideas of absolute truth, goodness, and beauty. Our first and deepest certainty is of the existence of this self, springing from the communion of the soul with God. We can know only what is akin to ourselves. Hence our knowledge is necessarily anthropomorphic; and our progress is a process of self-realization and of self-revelation. If we could attain perfection, we should find ourselves at one with God and whatever He creates. Were it possible to conceive a mode of being higher than the personal, it would be necessary to ascribe it to God, who is a person, but in a way infinitely above anything we can know. He transcends man so unimaginably, that, though we must say we are like Him, it seems little less than blasphemy to say He is like us. The likeness is true, but the difference is infinite. Nevertheless, it is the likeness we must contemplate if we hope to attain even a feeble knowledge of Him. Therefore we say -- He thinks, though His thoughts are not our thoughts; that He loves, but as we can never hope to love. We are akin to Him, yet even less than atoms are akin to worlds. This at least we may understand and feel -- that whatever in us is good and fair is so because it is of Him and for Him; that without Him there could be nothing; or, if so, nothing could have worth or meaning. If thought and love are possible, it is because He is with the thinker and the lover.

Download or read book Agnosticism and Religion (Classic Reprint) written by Jacob Gould Schurman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agnosticism and Religion by Jacob Gould Schurman deconstructs theories of agnosticism and contextualizes religion in the light various philosophical themes. The book is divided into three parts - in the first section Schurman traces the evolution of scientific agnosticism and the journey of Thomas Henry Huxley. In doing so, the author reflects upon omnipotent concepts of creation, revelation and science. Part two of Agnosticism and Religion delves into modern philosophical theories throwing light on the genesis of agnosticism as we understand it today. It is in this section that the reader will find hard hitting observations by the author on the very premise of agnosticism and its relevance. The third section of the book draws out the nuances of spiritual religion, its essence and evolution. The taut lines drawn between dogmatism and doubt as well as introspection of the soul and its development make for a very pointed and interesting read. The author has taken great pains to encompass as many strands of knowledge on the subject as Agnosticism and Religion is not just a straightforward narration of fact. It contains some highly debatable and thought provoking inferences that would appeal to students, preachers of religion or the casual reader alike. In parts, a powerful critique and at other times an eloquent interpretation, this piece of work treads on rather ambiguous territory of philosophy and religion. While exposing underlying disparities, it also brings out a sense of positivity towards the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Reaction From Science (Classic Reprint) written by W. J. Madden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reaction from Science by William Joseph Madden contextualizes religious reunion and pointedly questions the growing strand of agnostic science. William Joseph Madden uses riveting prose to formulate a structured argument against agnostic science and its propagators. The book has been divided into numerous short chapters each of which build a compelling case for disagreement with the agnostic school of thought. There is a logical flow in the construction of the argument as the author postulates the signs for reaction, important questions that remained unanswered by agnosticism and finally the way forward. William Joseph Madden uses wit and sarcasm to perfection which can be noticed in the underlying tone of this book. While keeping a check on undue assault, a scathing critique somehow emerges from the depths of this work and this is perhaps the most intriguing aspect of The Reaction from Science. As the title suggests, the author does full justice to the term reaction by combining well researched facts and observations yet keeping a strong grip on the use of hard hitting submissions to make his point. As the questions being answered in The Reaction from Science cover a rather large spectrum of literature and philosophy, it would only be natural to assume a rather long piece of work. However, this book is by no means long and that is perhaps its strongest point. The author is successful is creating an impact even in brevity. Suitable for all palates, The Reaction from Science is by all means relevant to current debates revolving around science and religion and makes for an excellent read for students, scholars and casual readers alike.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of Belief: A Revaluation of the Bases of Christian Belief in the Light of Modern Science and Philosophy When a boy goes to college, what happens to his interest in religion? Well, in the first place, he certainly doesn't lose it. No one who has sat before an open fire with a circle of college men and heard the discussion range through all things in heaven above and in the earth beneath and in the waters under the earth, can doubt their interest in religion. That is precisely why so many of them become agnostic. If they didn't care, they might go on repeating with thoughtless lips old platitudes, without ever wondering whether the new learning was going to fit them. It is because they do care enough about religion to require that it shall be true, that they turn from it when it seems to be discredited. Generally, the young man, and the young woman, too, comes to college with no adequate idea of religious doctrine. He has probably never concerned himself about it. If he has thought to inquire, the chances are that he has been answered after the manner of half a century ago. For most people seem to think that old ideas, like old clothing, are good enough for boys. When he gets to college he learns that the world was not made in seven days, and that his great grandfather resembled an ape, and that Moses did not write the first five books of the Bible. The professor hasn't time to explain to him that God can work as well in a million years as in seven days, and that a man's ancestors are not nearly so important to him as his descendants, and that you don't have to know the author of a book to tell whether or not it is worth while. The college man sees theology, - the old theology, - forever on the defensive with science, and forever losing ground. Thinks he, if religion is real, why remain on the defensive?

Download or read book Through Agnostic Spectacles (Classic Reprint) written by Alexander Kadison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Kadison was a devout agnostic although he wrote many essays and articles on the topic of religion during his lifetime. The book Through Agnostic Spectacles houses several of his best essays on agnosticism. For those unfamiliar with the term, agnostic refers to a person who claims neither belief nor disbelief in a higher power, or "God." This book begins with Kadison's creed which states "Reason my final arbiter shall be; Blind faith is barred from my philosophy. Nor God nor Christ know I: my deity is Man; my creed bows to no fetish. Neither do I crave salvation in a life beyond the grave: Far better strive mankind on earth to save through word and deed." This creed sets the tone, not just for Kadison's approach to religion, but for the entire text of the book. The line: "Blind faith is barred from my philosophy" alone establishes that Kadison has made it his mission to investigate religion instead of blindly following it. In Through Agnostic Spectacles readers are given a glimpse of this scholar's fascinating point of view on religion. Kadison's beliefs (or lack thereof) represent a subset of religious believers, one which many readers may not have been exposed to prior to this. His arguments for agnosticism run throughout the essays as he tries to sway the reader from blind faith towards a more balanced approach to religion. Overall, the book is an intriguing historic look at religion and individual approaches to the concept of God. An interesting read for anyone who wants to explore religion and personal beliefs that are different than societal norms.

Download or read book An Agnostic's Apology written by Leslie Stephen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping and emotional work around the power of religion and the defense of agnosticism, Leslie Stephen's An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays is considered a seminal work in religious studies. Through the course of his life, Leslie Stephen held many professions including clergyman, journalist, author, and literary critic. In addition to his contributions to these fields, he is also known as the father of famous author Virginia Wolf and famous artist Vanessa Bell. Stephen was born and raised in London and many of his childhood experiences were shaped by religion. His immediate family was part of an early 19th century group of evangelical Christian social reformers known as the Clapham Sect, known for their religious mission and social activism. When Stephen went off to college, he continued his religious exploration through study and eventually became an Anglican clergyman. By his 30s, however, he renounced his religious beliefs and became an investigative journalist, both changes led to the writing and publication of his book An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays. Stephen begins the book by describing the difference between an atheist (one who does not believe in any god) and an agnostic (one who questions the existence of a god). "The Agnostic is one who asserts 'what no one denies' that there are limits to the sphere of human intelligence..." This distinction is important for the reader to fully understand Stephen's points in his book. His work is colored with the same fervor and poignancy that filled his spiritual life and his argument for Agnosticism reads like a sermon. Each of the essays in An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays are about religion and religious themes. The Skepticism of Believers, Dreams and Realities; What is Materialism?; Newman's Theory of Belief; Poisonous Opinions; and The Religion of all Sensible Men are all topics explored in the book. Stephen's own personal experiences help shade his approach to the topic of religion in an interesting and dynamic way. His own religious beliefs, or lack thereof, give an interesting look into religion during his lifetime. This book is an excellent read and highly recommended for any reader.

It would describe its own mood as a state of mental equ1p01se, equally remote from both affirmation and denial. If I ido not accept the Christian faith, a doubter of this school would say, neither do I reject it. His mood towards religion IS that of a judge not yet satisfied with the evidence. He Is weighing the arguments on both Sides, and doing it with dispassionate leisureliness. NO argument as yet has emerged which closes the case; and he waits for its appearance with easy content.
