Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truth of the Apostolic Gospel 1. The genuine student is eager in the search for truth. He believes that everything must approve itself to his reason. Science has made such gigantic strides, and has by its magnificent generalizations so brought home to the modern mind the unity of nature, that its laws are regarded as the abiding objective truth, whatever be our likes or dislikes, our superstitions or prejudices. Other things may change, the laws of nature are permanent. For if our hypotheses have to be abandoned from time to time, it is not the underlying law which is supposed to be capricious, and we do not desist from the search until some more permanent hypothesis is discovered. So to-day the old atomic theory is yielding to a grander generalization as to the structure of matter. 2. Equally zealous is the philosophic student to discover the laws of mind. Persuaded that human life can be unified and explained in terms of reason, he traces through the systems that change from age to age, a pervading and ever clearer principle. Deeper and truer inductions in the realm of pure thought, psychology, or the process of history displace the philosophic structures of the past, which are proving too strait for the amplitude of present knowledge and experience. 3. Truth is a term that is too often narrowed in its range. Truths of science are only a part of the whole of truth; truths of philosophy are only a part of the whole of truth. Both science and philosophy must include in their survey the truths of the other realms of nature before giving forth their final results as the truth. For no part of truth can conflict with any other part of truth. So no hypothesis of science or philosophy is truth if it clashes with the largest meaning of man´s life. 4. According to the Bible man is of such supreme value, his essential worth is so great, and his destiny so glorious, that the world of nature is merely the stage on which man´s character is disciplined (Ps. 8:3-9; Matt. 6:32, 33; 16:26; 24:35; John 1:1-4, 10; 17:5, 24; Eph. 1:4; Heb. 4:3). Nature is regarded as sympathetic to the crises in the Kingdom of God (Ps. 104:1-10; Matt. 24:29-31; Rom. 8:19-22). Therefore since the purposes of God for the kingdom of humanity are supreme, no scientific or philosophic theory can be correct which conflicts with the principles of God´s moral rule. Truth must in its last issue have a spiritual interpretation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
