Excerpt from The Philosophy of History, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Course of Lectures, Delivered at ViennaEvery great abuse of human reason, by a natural revulsion of feeling, inspires a certain dread and dis trust of its powers. This has been more than once exemplified in the history of the church. So, at this momentous period, some of the German Catholic powers sought in obscurantism, a refuge and security against religious and political innovations, and denied to science that encouragement which she had a right to look for at their hands - a policy as infatuated as it is culpable, for, while ignorance draws down contempt and disgrace on religion, it begets in its turn, as a melancholy experience has proved, those very errors and that very unbelief, against which it was designed as a protection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
