Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Things, Vol. 1 of 2: The Physical Universe
God and existing independent of us; but we can absorb them. I gradually came to the idea that there was no truth in subjective idealism but there might be some truth in Objective idealism. God makes things but He does not make our ideas about things. We make them ourselves and what we make depends on how we think. If we commit sin or act the fool we cannot blame God for it and so escape the responsibility of wrong doing. This form of idealism would give us a real basis for a science of morality, so I adopted it with the proviso that realism or naturalism, in short, all knowledge can be nothing in itself but a system of ideas in the mind, and the question for us to decide is, what is the true idealism? When we find the answer to this question, I believe scepticism will be routed from this planet.
