Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truths We Live This book is the outcome of two very different sorts of experience: one, the teaching of philosophy in a typical American university; the other, the frequent discussion of problems of philosophic import before the larger public. Both of these experiences have convinced the writer that what our time sorely needs is an ethical reconstruction in the light of the new intellectual trends of the day, - a new grounding of the great verities of life and mind that will be convincing to the men who actively participate in contemporary civilization. Such an ethical reconstruction is made directly necessary by the fact that modern science has seemed slowly and effectively to have destroyed many of the old beliefs that were once the safeguards of the moral order. How many, indeed, of those acquainted with the meaning of scientific progress can retain any sure confidence in such intangible things as the Moral Ideal, or Immortality, or God, or the Freedom of the Will? In general men of to-day are divided into two great classes in their attitudes toward such matters; they either accept the agnosticism of science, or they take refuge in a faith that presumes to ignore science.
