Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Beginning (Les Origines) We shall translate the Author´s Preface without changing it in any way, as it shows with what object and under what circumstances this book was undertaken. This work was written for my pupils at the Seminary of Issy, and to them I dedicate it. I think it necessary to say this in order to account for the subject of which it treats, and to make the intention understood with which I composed it. Having to give instructions on Natural Sciences to young philosophers, I found it impossible to confine myself to the experimental and practical part only; it was necessary to go back to first causes, and treat of such questions as the study of nature invariably raises in thoughtful minds. Speaking to young ecclesiastics, whose mission would be to propagate and to defend the faith, I had to throw light on those points where free-thought, apparently founded on the Natural Sciences, affirms Christian revelation to be lacking. Materialists have for some time had great weight with the people, because they alone (almost) had strengthened their position by the aid of Science. It is also most essential that the young clerics should be wanting in no knowledge concerning humanity, and that they should be able to give incontestable proof of their competence, both in order to obtain a hearing when they speak, and also that they may learn to speak with accuracy and power. Not only have they nothing to lose in the study of human sciences, but their Apostolic Ministry will benefit by the earnest endeavours they have made to inform themselves on these matters. Science is not the exclusive right of one particular school of thought; it renders up its secrets to those who study it with care.
