Excerpt from The Alphabet of the Universe: Notes for an Universal Philosophy
The comparatively barren results of existing philosophical systems is chiefly due to their failure to reduce the vague and indefinite conceptions of the universe, which exist in the mind, to definite and practical objective conceptions which can be easily comprehended by man The writer feels that it has been permitted to him to solve this vital problem by the discovery of what he ventures to think, will readily be perceived to be the natural and ultimate laws or forms of all being and all action. If this be the case, then such ultimate principles will necessarily constitute a touchstone and criterion of truth in every direction, and will shed new light upon, and link up, many old problems. As this is intended to be a harmonising philosophy, such old-established ideas as appeared to accord with what is new have accordingly been incorporated, so as to furnish herein an outline of the chief topics embraced by philosophy. It is to the unprejudiced-seeker after realities that the writer par ticularly addresses himself. Of the innate vitality and potency of the seed he has ventured to scatter, he has no doubt whatever; of the shortcomings and omissions of the sower he is fully conscious; but trusts in this to receive charitable consideration.

Excerpt from The Alphabet of the Universe: Notes for an Universal Philosophy
"Whatever be the orm or issue ol the search (for the Great Secret), no man gifted with the endowment of a contemplative and questioning turn of mind can reach mature life without earnest meditation on the great problem of himself and of the world, the inner and the outer universe without seeking whence he came and whither he is bound: -
"The Hills where his life rose
And the Sea to which it goes."
He yearns to know the meaning of existence; its aim and purport; in what light he is to look upon it, in what way he is to use it. The necessities of his nature forbid him to lead a provisional life, either mentally or morally; he wants to sail, he cannot be content to drift; he must know his haven and steer his course. Sentient and conscious existence to him is a problem to be solved, not a summer day to be enjoyed at least he must ascertain whether it is this last, before he can tranquility accept even its joys. He is and must ever be
'a Being holding large discourse -
Looking before and after.'
What then a Human Life, Its significance, Its aim, Its mission, Its Goal?"

The Alphabet of the Universe: Notes for an Universal Philosophy
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book suggests that morality, intellect, and physical being could be considered the three fundamental components of the human character. The author argues humanity has been held back by its inability to find the universal connective element that links all beings. They posit that by viewing human experience through the lens of 'an act', it becomes clear that every action can be broken down into a combination of three universal forms; purpose, method, and force. By recognising and understanding these abstract laws, we can create a philosophy that connects us spiritually, creating order and harmony in a world often defined by chaos. This text is a fascinating and original work that will appeal to those interested in metaphysics, philosophy, and human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
