Excerpt from System of Christian EthicsAnd this anxiety is of a twofold kind. In the first place, it refers to the plan of the whole treatise. In science generally, but in theology from quite peculiar grounds, it appears to me a matter of doubtful propriety when a department of knowledge which is a common possession has not also a certain common form of treat ment, so that one immediately perceives from the style of discussion whether what is new is meant merely to attempt a better establish ment of an old knowledge of the truth. Where this mode of treatment is unnecessarily departed from, there arises not only the danger of ministering, even if involuntarily, to that craving after novelty which loves not what is true, but only what is new, but one also cuts asunder deliberately the threads of connection which bind to one another the different stages of culture and of knowledge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
