Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Infinite and the Old Theology Some years ago, in the course of a lecture dealing with Mathematics regarded as a distinctive type of thought and with its relations to other varieties of philosophic and scientific activity, I ventured to say: "I do not believe that the declined estate of Theology is destined to be permanent. The present is but an interregnum in her reign, and her fallen days will have an end. She has been deposed mainly because she has not seen fit to avail herself promptly and fully of the dispensations of advancing knowledge. The aims, however, of the ancient mistress are as high as ever, and when she shall have made good her present lick of modern education and learned to extend a generous and eager hospitality to modern light, she will reascend and will occupy with dignity, as of yore, an exalted place in the ascending scale of human interests and the esteem of enlightened men. And Mathematics, by the inmost character of her being, is especially qualified, I believe, to assist in the restoration."
