Overview

Excerpt from Essays on the Philosophy of Theism, Vol. 2 of 2 Among all the philosophical verities which reasonably count as premisses of Theism, there are two in particular, closely correlated, on which we are disposed to lay quite exceptional stress. These are (1) the doctrine that man's will is free and (2) the doctrine that there is a certain moral code, a certain authoritative rule of life, cognizable by reason as of intrinsic obligation. These two, we say, are, to our mind, much the most important of Theistic premisses. For we heartily follow Cardinal Newman, in regarding men's natural sense of right and wrong as by far the Strongest of those foundations on which belief in God is reasonably built.* We have just now, therefore, arrived at the very heart and crisis of our argument, and every step as we proceed must be carefully made good.
