Excerpt from Nature and Culture Nature declares herself in her works. What exists beyond her domain, if any thing, becomes necessarily a matter of faith or imagination, and yet the origin of the material universe presents a problem which neither the vagaries of the ancients nor the speculations of the moderns have been able to solve in a satisfactory manner. In modern methods of logic, we reason from cause to effect, from the known to the unknown, but in attempting to penetrate the region of the unknown, we are often left without a reliable guide. Analogy may aid, but cannot assure us. The powers of the human mind, if not infinite, may admit of infinite culture. What is supposed to be "unknowable" may therefore become known. However this may be, there is no divine injunction which prescribes a limit to human possibilities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
