Synopsis
Excerpt from The Study of Nature and the Vision of God: With Other Essays in Philosophy
IN the endeavour of man to draw near to that ultimate reality with which it is his salvation to make himself at one - the endeavour which is on its practical side religion, on its theoretical side philos ophy and theology - there is an elemental distinction between two tendencies or methods. The one, to find God, denies the world. The other retains the world, but when God is found the world becomes new; or rather, in finding God the world also is found, for the knowl edge of God is the ultimate truth about the world. To trace these tendencies, in the broad outline of their historical relations of con flict and of combination, was once the hope of the present writer. Such a study, if it could have been undertaken successfully, would have done two things: would have cast light on the forms which in human history the religious endeavour to be at one with God has assumed; and would have marked out for students, in an elementary but yet fundamental way, the ground-currents of the history of philosophy and theology. But it is now almost certain that that plan will never, even in briefest outline, be carried through; and so a number of essays, written at different times and under different circumstances as studies toward it, are published here as separate papers. Each can be read by itself; yet, since there is enough of the original -plan in the separate parts to give them a certain unity, it would be better to take them together as forming a single historical discussion. For this reason a short introduction has been prefixed, stating the main point of the discussion and the relation of each of the papers to it.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality and the path to a meaningful life, tracing the evolution of two major schools of thought: Idealism and Mysticism. The author delves into the historical development of these ideas, examining the influential works of Plato, Erigena, and St. Thomas. Through a comparative analysis, the book unveils the fundamental tenets of each perspective: while Idealism seeks to understand reality through the lens of reason, Mysticism emphasizes the direct experience of the divine. The author skillfully navigates the complexities of these philosophies, exploring their profound implications for our understanding of the world and our place within it. By shedding light on the enduring quest for truth and enlightenment, this book offers valuable insights into the human condition, encouraging readers to reflect on the nature of existence and the pursuit of a life in harmony with the ultimate reality.
