Some Elements Towards the At-One-Ment of Knowledge and Belief (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Some Elements Towards the at-One-Ment of Knowledge and Belief

That is the question which trenches to the very heart of the modern world of thought, and cleaves it into two opposing camps.

It is the question of the age, and as such it will have its answer. It demands it all the more urgently from the very fact that there is a large section of men, candid and open-minded, who have so far been unable to give any answer, merely because they have taken in both sides of the question.

It is all very well for the narrow theologian, or the equally dogmatic materialist, to decide the matter off-hand one way or the other but this sort of treatment in reality helps no human being, because it is largely understood, or at any rate felt, that after all, whichever side one stands out for as infallible, there is a great deal to be said for the other. And so there is - and there ought to be until the matter is reconciled - a vast deal of stress, unrest, and distraction of the human mind.
