Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Devil´s Advocate, Vol. 1 The function of the Devil´s Advocate in the Spiritual Courts of Rome is to contest the posthumous pretensions of new candidates for canonization. There is no similar officer in the various Schools of Philosophy; and no volunteer counsel seems willing to imperil his repute as a representative of the advanced Intellect of his day by challenging the title of the Nineteenth Century and its mushroom progeny of new ideas, Positive or Destructive, to immediate admission among the recognized objects of human adoration - the acknowledged tests of enlightenment and intelligence. The accepted champions of orthodoxy, on whom might well devolve such a duty, are fettered like Madoc on the Stone of Sacrifice; encounter modern artillery with bows and arrows. The author, having no repute of either kind to lose, presumes on his freedom rather than on his capacity to say what others might say much better.
