The Scientific Temper In Religion PDF Download

Excerpt from The Scientific Temper in Religion, and Other Addresses "A Philosopher's life is spent in discovering that of the half dozen truths he knew when a child, such an one is a lie, as the world states it in set terms; and then, after a weary lapse of years and plenty of hard thinking, it becomes a truth again after all, as he happens to newly consider it and view it in a different relation with the others." Robert Browning (Ogniben in A Soul's Tragedy, Act II.). "Was kann der Mensch im Leben mehr gewinnen, AIs dass sich Gott-Natur ihm offenbare, Wie sie das Feste Jasst zu Geist verrinnen, Wie sie das Geisterzeugte fest bewahre." Goethe (Bei Betrachtung von Schiller's Schädel). "Man through his life can win no richer prize Than if he God-in-nature realise: How that resolves the solid into soul And keeps the soul's creations ever whole." W. H. B. "Ex uno Verbo omnia, et unum loquitur omnia: et hoc est Principium quod et loquitur nobis." De Imitatione Christi, I. iii.
