Excerpt from Mysticism and Logic
The essay on Mysticism and Logic appeared in the Hibbert Journal for July, 1914. The Place of Science in a Liberal Education appeared in two numbers of The New Statesman, May 24 and 31, 1913. The Free Man's Worship and The Study of Mathematics were included in a former collection (now out of print), Philosophical Essays, also published by Messrs. Longmans, Green 81 Co. Both were written in 1902; the first appeared originally in the Independent Review for 1903, the second in the New Quarterly, November, 1907. In theoretical Ethics, the position advocated in The Free Man's Worship is not quite identical with that which I hold now: I feel less convinced than I did then of the objectivity of good and evil. But the general attitude towards life which is suggested in that essay still seems to me, in the main, the one which must be adopted in times of stress and difficulty by those who have no dogmatic religious beliefs, if inward defeat is to be avoided.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the age-old tension between two powerful human impulses: the drive towards mystical, intuitive understanding and the pursuit of rational, scientific knowledge. Through the lens of historical figures like Heraclitus and Plato, the author explores how these seemingly opposing forces have shaped the evolution of philosophical thought. Readers are invited to contemplate profound questions about the nature of reality, the limitations of human perception, and the existence of a higher truth beyond the grasp of our senses. The author challenges the notion of absolute knowledge derived solely from intuition, advocating instead for a balanced approach that embraces both scientific rigor and the insights of mystical experience. By examining the concepts of unity and plurality, the illusory nature of time, and the subjective experience of good and evil, this book encourages a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe we inhabit. Ultimately, it argues that the true power of philosophy lies not in imposing our own desires on the world, but in cultivating a spirit of disinterested curiosity and embracing the vastness of the unknown.
