Synopsis

Philosophy As Absolute Science, Founded In The Universal Laws Of Being, By E.L. & A.L. Frothingham is a polemical philosophical-theological treatise that seeks to unite ontology, theology, and psychology under universal spiritual laws. The text outlines an ontological account of human development organized around the Law of Circularity, whereby mind growth progresses through three “births” and cycles between internal and external forms of belief. It emphasizes a transition from external religious structures to internal, self-conscious truths, culminating in a genuine spiritual birth and the advent of a higher spiritual order. Allegorical figures such as Transcendentalism, Emerson, Jesus, the Prodigal Son, Cupid and Psyche, and Job map the movement from external religion to internal consciousness and spiritual life, while critiquing historical philosophies from antiquity to modern/post-Kantian thought as insufficient grounds for true personhood. The core framework centers on a triune conception of God, the sanctifying power of marriage, and a universal system of laws governing being, representation, and growth. The tone is polemical, encyclopedic, and systematic, aiming to replace naturalistic and sentimental approaches with a comprehensive Absolute Science.
