Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy, Vol. 2 of 4: Based on the Doctrine of Evolution, With Criticisms on the Positive Philosophy
The results obtained in the course of the preceding inquiry have added depth and precision to our conceptin of the Scope of Philosophy. In coming to look upon all phenomena as manifestations of a Power unknowable in itself, yet knowable in the order of its phenomenal manifestations, we have virtually come to declare that the true business of philosophy is the determination of the order of the phenomena in which this omnipresent Power is manifested. And thus we arrive by another road at the very same definition of Philosophy which was previously given; and we see that the progress of deanthropomorphization, while leaving the religious attitude of philosophy entirely unchanged, has at the same time precisely limited its scope in making it the Synthesis of the general truths of science into a system of universal truth.
