Abstract
THOUGH dealing with problems of religion and philosophy, and leaning entirely to an extreme form of metaphysical idealism, this little book, consisting of four lectures, is thoroughly scientific in spirit and in method. The lectures aim, the author tells us, at establishing a theory of knowledge based on the facts of evolution and in sympathy with the spiritual interpretation of Nature by the best metaphysical systems. Though necessarily slight, the book is never dull.
