The Creator, and What We May Know of the Method of Creation: The Fernley Lecture (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A thoughtful examination of how science and philosophy try to explain the origin of the universe.
The work argues that science, focused on phenomena and their laws, cannot fully account for mind, causation, or the deeper question of creation.
It surveys a line of thinkers and critics who challenge materialism, weighing mind against matter and asking whether a primal cause can ever be tested by experiment. The book invites readers to consider the limits of physical research and the enduring pull of metaphysical questions about existence and the Method of Creation.
- Defines the scope and limits of physical science when addressing origin and causation
- Contrast between mind and matter, and their implications for understanding reality
- Engages with ideas from thinkers like Spencer, Huxley, Descartes, Berkeley, and Tyndall
- Explores whether consciousness can emerge from matter and what that means for science
Ideal for readers curious about science, philosophy, and the big questions behind creation.

The Creator, and What We May Know of the Method of Creation (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental question of creation and the nature of the universe, a topic that has captivated thinkers throughout history. The author grapples with the enduring concept of causality, exploring how our consciousness compels us to seek a cause for every phenomenon. He challenges the idea that scientific understanding alone can explain the origin and intricacies of the universe, suggesting that scientific inquiry, while essential, ultimately leads to a deeper philosophical question about the existence of a primordial cause. The book skillfully navigates the complexities of various philosophical viewpoints, including materialism, idealism, and the mechanistic philosophy of Herbert Spencer. The author expertly examines the limitations of these approaches, arguing that they often fail to address the inherent mystery of creation and the profound implications of our own consciousness. This book offers a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of the age-old question of creation, reminding us that even as scientific knowledge expands, the ultimate mysteries of existence continue to inspire profound contemplation and awe.
