Excerpt from The New Materialism: Dictatorial Scientific Utterances and the Decline of ThoughtUnlearned people have been ¿attered by having been, as it were, taken into the confidence of certain authorities of materialistic tendencies, and assured that, as science is but educated common-sense, they are well able to judge concern ing many deep, scientific questions of consummate interest to every person of intelligence, and that, therefore, they will feel convinced of the truth of recent conjectures on the physical nature of life. Materialistic doctrines have now been taught for so many years that they have come to be looked upon as a sort of belief, or faith, which ought to be at once accepted by all who desire to be considered, from the material istic point of View, as reasonable persons. Any who should be so rash as to inquire concerning the exact meaning of the terms employed, would be, of course, altogether beneath notice, as they would prove, by the doubt they implied, that they belonged to that large group of unteachable persons not included among the wise, the learned, or the cultured.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
