The Human and Its Relation to the Divine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Human and Its Relation to the Divine

It is probable that every student of philosophy has felt something of this aptly termed lique faction of mind, and has found the first effect of his reading to be a sense of uncertainty on all subjects. In some cases this doubt is per manent and causes one regretfully or disdain fully, as the case may be, to leave to the less enlightened the privilege of expressing them selves apodictically. Instructors in philosophy have some responsibility here, especially when they advise students -to adopt that system of thought which promotes the easiest life, thus instilling at once agnosticism and epicureanism.

In the following pages I have endeavored to solve, by means within the reach of all, the problems which present themselves to him who seeks to know man and his relation to God, hoping thus to be of some use in resisting the tendency of studious minds to cast ofi faith, and in leading them to build on firm foundations houses which shall be both sanctuaries and fortresses.
