NATURALISM 



AND 



AGNOSTICISM 



By JAMES WARD, Sc.D. 



HON. LL.D., EDINBURGH ; 

 PROFESSOR OF MENTAL PHILOSOPHY AND LOGIC IN THE 

 UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE 



THE GIFFORD LECTURES OF 1896-1898 



" It cannot be doubted that it will have a wide influence on 

 the higher thought of the country, and may even do something to 

 restore to Philosophy the pre-eminent place it once occupied in 

 English thought. " — AthencEiwi. 



"We do not believe that anything stronger or truer has been 

 called into being by Gifford's eccentric will." — Expository Tifnes. 



" There will assuredly be no disagreement as to the masterly 

 ability which he has brought to bear on the important matter 

 discussed." — Scotsman. 



" One thing is certain — every student of Metaphysics is bound 

 to read it." — The Saturday Revieiv. 



" Probably this course of lectures comes nearer than most to 

 the ideal of what Lord Gifford intended when he left his noble 

 foundation to the Scottish Universities, for the discussion of 

 questions on Natural Theology, and it will be allowed that there 

 is a measure of fitness in the elaborate argument here presented 

 by a Cambridge professor." — Glasgow Herald. 



" A work which does much to redeem Cambridge as a centre 

 of philosophical thought, and which, if we mistake not, will prove 

 one of the most important contributions to philosophy made in our 

 time in England. . . . Indeed we are unable to think of any 

 English work in which so complete a grasp both of science and 

 philosophy is shown as in this remarkable treatise." — Spectator.
