Excerpt from The Higher RealismMuch of the matter contained in these pages was originally jotted down to preserve occasional thoughts on philosophy. These have gradually taken on a more regular form, and finally resulted in this little volume. The author certainly has no intention of entering far into the technical discus sions of present-day thought; and he hopes to be not very tedious in the subjects here treated, al though some of them might be elaborated to an indefinite length. Some of the views given are believed to be new; but they are confidently left to the liberal judgment of those who love the highest Truth, and who care to find therein an aid to ulti mate Faith and Hope.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
