Excerpt from The Cosmos and the Logos: Being the Lectures for 1901-2 on the L. P. Foundation in the Princeton Theological Seminary, Also Delivered in the Theological Seminary at Auburn, New York In putting these Lectures into print the author hastens to disclaim any such delusion as that he has finally solved all the problems he has tackled. He is well aware that he has crossed the critic's path in the very audacity of his undertaking. The task which he has taken up embraces nearly all "questions in the world and out of it", but to make it less comprehensive than this would have been to miss the real meaning of the problem. Every thinking man is a philosopher, he has some notion of the world in which he lives. He has a weltanschauung, a world-and-life theory. His world-philosophy may be superlatively unphilosophical, but it is his philosophy, nevertheless. If he regards the world as wholly given over to the bad, he is a pessimist, if he regards that there is no world distinct from God, he is a pantheist, if he regards it as such a hopelessly inexplicable tangle, that no man can really know anything about it, he is an agnostic, if he regards that God has abdicated his throne in favor of man, he is a Pelagian, and so on.
