Excerpt from The Science of the Saints, Vol. 2: The World in Which We LiveThe volume herewith presented to the public, is the second part of a work whose subject-matter, as outlined in the general Introduction, may be expressed in this one sentence: How man, such as he is, must rise above the world in which he lives, towards God for whom he was created.' The first part, which appeared in print in the year 1902, treats of man, such as he is, the second part, which is now given to the press, treats of the world in which he lives, the third part, which is to follow in due course, treats of God for Whom he was created.In the present volume, even more than in the preceding, it has seemed well to give copious extracts from Catholic theologians and other standard authors. In dealing, especially, with certain questions in which authority is wont to carry more weight than pure reasoning, quotations are very frequently used, when the same ideas might have been expressed with greater facility or brevity, in the writer's own language.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
