Excerpt from Modern Science and Materialism
Although the desire for knowledge of this kind is so imperative in man's nature, all attempts to satisfy it have failed. It is clear at the outset, therefore, that the subject itself is outside the range of human intellect. If a solution ever could have been found, it would assuredly have been found before now. Philosophy cannot furnish answers to these ultimate questions; it can, however, do something towards allaying unsatisfied curiosity, partly by making clear what branches of inquiry are necessarily outside the scope of human intellect, partly by setting forth the things that we can know in an organized and systematic form. Philosophy can do no more than this: mark off the sphere of possible knowledge from the sphere where knowledge is impossible; then collect together the main principles that emerge in the knowledge at present possessed by mankind; and thereby we shall, at all events, perceive to the highest extent possible where it is that we stand in Nature, and what is the general aspect of the Universe.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the convergence of science and philosophy, notably the relationship between humanity and existence. The author begins by explaining how science has shown us the vastness and complexity of the universe. Based on scientific evidence to date, the book presents the idea that the Universe appears to be a flattened sphere with a ring around it, a ring which is in the same plane as our Stellar System. This book brings together a vast amount of scientific research and marries it with philosophical positions. It presents a coherent argument for the importance of science within a philosophical framework. The author posits that science and philosophy are not two rival doctrines but are one and the same doctrine, looked at from different aspects and stated in different words. The book is accessible to anyone interested in how science and philosophy intersect and is a valuable read for laypeople and scholars alike.
