Excerpt from The Ethic of Freethought: And Other Addresses and Essays
I have allowed the original preface to this work, as well as one or two essays, to be again reprinted with but slight revision, not because they express exactly what I think to-day, but because read together they may explain to some readers the circumstances, partly historical and partly personal, under which these lectures and essays were written. During the years 1880 and 1881 comparatively few lectures on Socialism were to be heard at working men's clubs, and I well remember what curious questions would then be put as to the teaching of Lassalle and Marx. The last twenty years have changed this entirely-one of the chief features being the excellent educational work of the Fabian Society. Twenty years ago the discussion of sex-problems was equally unusual. N ow a considerable literature on the subject has sprung into exist ence. Occasionally we come across a morbid outgrowth, but on the whole what has been written is thoughtful, whole some, and sane in its conclusions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delivers a collection of lectures and essays penned by Karl Pearson, exploring fundamental philosophical questions that have occupied human thought for millennia.

Pearson approaches these profound subjects with a scientific perspective, drawing on contemporary scientific knowledge to provide a rational and thought-provoking examination. The book prompts us to question the role of faith in an increasingly secular world and encourages us to embrace the pursuit of knowledge as the path to understanding our place in the cosmos. Ultimately, this thought-provoking work challenges conventional beliefs and lays the groundwork for a more enlightened and rational understanding of existence.
