Excerpt from The Human and Its Relation to the Divine
It is probable that every student of philosophy has felt something of this aptly termed lique faction of mind, and has found the first effect of his reading to be a sense of uncertainty on all subjects. In some cases this doubt is per manent and causes one regretfully or disdain fully, as the case may be, to leave to the less enlightened the privilege of expressing them selves apodictically. Instructors in philosophy have some responsibility here, especially when they advise students -to adopt that system of thought which promotes the easiest life, thus instilling at once agnosticism and epicureanism.
In the following pages I have endeavored to solve, by means within the reach of all, the problems which present themselves to him who seeks to know man and his relation to God, hoping thus to be of some use in resisting the tendency of studious minds to cast ofi faith, and in leading them to build on firm foundations houses which shall be both sanctuaries and fortresses.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book undertakes a philosophical enquiry into the essence of mankind, with particular focus on the idea of the self. Beginning with the idea of ownership, the author traces how our sense of self evolves from a concept of possession to a more complex understanding of our own distinct identity. The author shows how philosophers from antiquity to the present day have attempted to define the self and establish its nature. Against this backdrop of established thought, the author examines the idea of the self through the lens of selfhood, perception, consciousness, identity, and human agency. The result is a comprehensive exploration of the ways in which we come to know and understand ourselves. By presenting a comprehensive overview of humanity's long journey to understand the self, this book presents a unique perspective that enriches our understanding of the human experience.
