Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Is Reality?: An Inquiry as to the Reasonableness of Natural, Religion, and the Naturalness of Revealed Religion
Throughout the following pages it has been the aim of the author to indicate faithfully, either in the text or in footnotes, the various sources whence he has derived assistance. It is, however, a privilege to make additional and special mention of three writers. To Herman Lotze, to J. B. Stallo, and to Andrew Seth the author is particularly indebted for guidance at difficult stages of the argument.
The title of the book was chosen because it sets forth in the simplest form of words the subject of the discussion.
It is often said, and very generally believed, that science and religion derive their authority from to tally distinct sources; that faith begins where science leaves of; that science deals with facts that can be proved, while religion is the outcome of conceptions that have no verifiable attachments in reality. It is the object of this book to show that the premises of religion are as real as any part of man's knowledge; and that the methods by which its vital truths are deduced from these premises are no less legitimate than those employed by science.
