Excerpt from The Unknowable: The Herbert Spencer Lecture Delivered at Oxford, 24 October, 1923
Your kind invitation to deliver the Herbert Spencer Lecture of this year, apart from the honour and pleasure it brings me, enables me to perform a small act of piety. On the whole, with qualifications which will appear presently, I belong to Herbert Spencer's camp; and I am glad of so favourable an opportunity to offer a grain of propitiatory incense to his shade, which I feel to be wandering in our midst somewhat reproachfully. Fashion has completely deserted him, and the course of evolution in which he trusted has not taken his hints. Even where some philosophy of evolution is still in vogue, it is not his philosophy, but perhaps that of Hegel or Bergson, who conceive evolution as imposed on nature by some magic or dialectical force, contrary to an alleged helplessness in matter. Such devices were far removed from the innocence of Herbert Spencer, who dutifully gathered reports from every quarter and let them settle as they would in the broad levels of his system, as in geological strata; whence that Homeric sweep with which he pictures progress and decay, not in aversion from the severities of natural existence, but as the mechanical sediment of the tides of matter and motion, perpetually surging.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for the belief in a fundamental substance that gives rise to all phenomena, arguing that it is the only coherent explanation for the existence of experience and consciousness. The author positions this belief within a broader intellectual tradition that has grappled with the nature of reality throughout history. The author contends that the human mind is incapable of fully comprehending the nature of this substance, which he refers to as the "Unknowable," but that we can nevertheless gain knowledge of its various manifestations through observation and experience. This knowledge, he argues, is essential for a meaningful understanding of the world and our place within it. The book explores the implications of this belief for various aspects of human thought and experience, including science, philosophy, religion, and art. The author argues that the recognition of the Unknowable can lead to a deeper appreciation of the beauty and complexity of the universe and to a more profound sense of humility in the face of its vastness and mystery. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling argument for the enduring power of belief in a fundamental reality that transcends our limited understanding, inviting readers to reconsider their own assumptions about the nature of existence and to embrace the wonder and awe that comes with recognizing the limits of human knowledge.
