Synopsis

Windfalls by Richard Randolph. Windfalls collects a series of 19th-century essays that fuse philosophy, science, and Christian faith to argue for a universal, observation-based approach to knowledge. It contends that mathematics and other disciplines originate in the observation of objective qualities and the unity of nature, challenging purely subjective or hypothetical bases for inquiry. The book surveys the origins of mathematics, the role of sense and memory in forming concepts of space, time, number, motion, and force, and defends the claim that all learning should rest on direct perception and rational synthesis rather than dogmatic conjecture. It moves through long expository sections on universal scripture, prophecy, education, and the moral life, weaving biblical imagery with discussions of abstraction, language, law, and atonement. Across its diverse essays, Windfalls seeks to reconcile science, philosophy, and faith into a coherent, practical vision of truth and progress.
