Excerpt from Without God, Negative Science and Natural Ethics
I incline to think that the progress of scepticism, and still more that sort of half-acknowledged ascendancy which doubt, if not disbelief, seems now-a-days to assert, are due in no small measure to a double misconception. The character and foundations of unbelief, Agnosticism - whatever term may least offensively describe that of whose diffusion we are all conscious - has greatly changed of late. It rests more and more upon grounds intelligible to, but not appreciable by, the general public; upon reasonings whose force they can feel, but whose truth they cannot judge, whose exact weight they cannot measure. It rests, first, upon Biblical criticism of the destruc tive character; criticism which tends to do away with the apparent force of the Christian evidences.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In this illuminating philosophical work, the author explores the changing landscape of belief in an increasingly rational world. The text grapples with the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on religious thought, arguing that it dealt a blow to the concept of a benevolent creator. The author posits that the 'aristocracy of intellect' should be indifferent to the masses and instead focused on their own development. This challenging and thought-provoking book offers a nuanced perspective on the relationship between science, ethics, and religion, arguing that morality can exist without religion and that irreligion does not necessitate immorality. Overall, this book provides deep insights into the evolution of belief and its implications for our understanding of human nature.
