Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Without God, Negative Science and Natural Ethics
I incline to think that the progress of scepticism, and still more that sort of half-acknowledged ascendancy which doubt, if not disbelief, seems now-a-days to assert, are due in no small measure to a double misconception. The character and foundations of unbelief, Agnosticism - whatever term may least offensively describe that of whose diffusion we are all conscious - has greatly changed of late. It rests more and more upon grounds intelligible to, but not appreciable by, the general public; upon reasonings whose force they can feel, but whose truth they cannot judge, whose exact weight they cannot measure. It rests, first, upon Biblical criticism of the destruc tive character; criticism which tends to do away with the apparent force of the Christian evidences.
