Excerpt from Philosophy and Faith of Universalism There is a philosophy of light, of heat, of sound, which transcends pure science, and seeks to explain these things by great general laws of matter and of energy. There is a philosophy of history, of society, of politics, of morality, of religion. In each instance philosophy means great general theories, or ideas, or truths which undertake to explain in large outlines the total of the phenomena included under any one of these heads. We may state the meaning of phi losophy in another way. It is that final generalization, or those final generalizations, which are supposed to contain one's total impression of any department or part of creation. One's philosophy of history is one's largest and last and most inclsuive idea of what history means. So also is one's philosophy of society, or politics, or morals, or religion. It is the final impres sion which either makes upon him as to its total meaning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
