Описание: Excerpt from A Plain Argument for God

I have long been of the Opinion that the argument for God, as it is usually pre sented, gives but little satisfaction to the vast mass of thoughtful men and women who approach the subject with an earnest dcsire to satisfy not only the demands of the intellect but also of the heart. The language used is so far removed from that of common life as to be not readily intelli gible. Some of the arguments put forward seem to the plain man little better than metaphysical quibbles, and if he assents to them it is rather because he already agrees with their conclusion than because he sees their force. The one argument which does appeal to him as simple and natural is pre sented in such a way as to lead him to a God, not present and living, but of the past.

This, however, is not at all what he has meant by the word God. To him the word has signified a Being in a close personal relation to him, a Father of Spirits, who is not far from every one of us. The reasoning does not assure him of the ex istence of the God in whom he has been accustomed to believe, and he has a tortur ing sense that either he has not grasped the arguments or the foundations of his belief will not bear too much investigation.

Описание: I must warn the reader at the outset that the title of this chapter seems to promise a great deal more than he will find carried out in the chapter itself. To tell all that philosophy has meant in the past, and all that it means to various classes of men in the present, would be a task of no small magnitude, and one quite beyond the scope of such a volume as this. But it is not impossible to give within small compass a brief indication, at least, of what the word once signified, to show how its signification has undergone changes, and to point out to what sort of a discipline or group of disciplines educated men are apt to apply the word, notwithstanding their differences of opinion as to the truth or falsity of this or that particular doctrine. Why certain subjects of investigation have come to be grouped together and to be regarded as falling within the province of the philosopher, rather than certain other subjects, will, I hope, be made clear in the body of the work. Only an indication can be given in this chapter.
