Description
Excerpt from The Spirit: The Relation of God and Man, Considered From the Standpoint of Recent Philosophy and Science
IF the advance of knowledge has long ago made bankrupt the crude supernaturalism of traditional Christianity, it seems well on the way towards discredit ing no less completely the crude materialism of Victorian science. Supported by the prestige of men justly famed for epoch-making discoveries, the philosophical system known as Scientific Materialism could for a long while, in the popular View, hold its own against a stream of continual protest from the side of Metaphysics, Ethics, and Aesthetics. But now that these protests are being reinforced by the latest investigations in Biology, Physiology, and especially Psychology, the case is altered.
