![]() ![]() Some articles of faith, however, have maintained themselves through every vicissitude, and possess even more vitality to-day than ever before: it is for the 'science of religions' to tell us just which hypotheses these are. Religious history proves that one hypothesis after another has worked ill, has crumbled at contact with a widening knowledge of the world, and has lapsed from the minds of men. The truest scientific hypothesis is that which, as we say, 'works' best and it can be no otherwise with religious hypotheses. I say 'empiricism,' because it is contented to regard its most assured conclusions concerning matters of fact as hypotheses liable to modification in the course of future experience and I say 'radical,' because it treats the doctrine of monism itself as an hypothesis, and, religious hypotheses about the universe be in order at all, then the active faiths of individuals in them, freely expressing themselves in life, are the experimental tests by which they are verified, and the only means by which their truth or falsehood can be wrought out. Were I obliged to give a short name to the attitude in question, I should call it that of radical empiricism, in spite of the fact that such brief nicknames are nowhere more misleading than in philosophy. It has seemed to me that these addresses might now be worthy of collection in a volume, as they shed explanatory light upon each other, and taken together express a tolerably definite philosophic attitude in a very untechnical way. I have from time to time accepted such invitations, and afterwards had my discourse printed in one or other of the Reviews. To whose philosophic comradeship in old times and to whose writings in more recent years I owe more incitement and help than I can express or repay.Īt most of our American Colleges there are Clubs formed by the students devoted to particular branches of learning and these clubs have the laudable custom of inviting once or twice a year some maturer scholar to address them, the occasion often being made a public one.
