Synopsis
Exploring the big questions of life through a careful blend of science, philosophy, and faith. This collection presents lecture notes from an 1890 excampment, outlining a systematic approach to understanding matter, mind, and God. It surveys how we know what we know and how different ways of thinking fit together to explain the universe.
In these pages, the author lays out methods used by science and by philosophy, then shows how theology can relate to both. Readers will encounter a structured look at ultimate causes, the role of the soul, and the questions that loom beyond observation and experiment. The work invites disciplined thinking about origin, purpose, and destiny, while maintaining a focus on practical ranges of inquiry.
- What matter, life, and spirit are
- How science and philosophy seek explanations
- The place of God and revelation in understanding reality
- How mind, ethics, and religion fit into the broader picture
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas who want a concise, lecture‑based map of these enduring questions.
What? How? Why? Whither? would appeal to students and general readers curious about how knowledge is built across disciplines.
