THE OPEN COURT 



A MONTHLY MAGAZINE 



Devoted to the Science of Relif^on, the Relis^on of Science, and 

 the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea. 



THE OPEN COURT does not understand by religion any creed or dog- 

 matic belief, but man' s world-conception in so far as it regulates his conduct 



The old dogmatic conception of religion is based upon the science of past 

 ages; to base religion upon the maturest and truest thought of the present 

 time is the object of The Open Court. Thus, the religion of The Open Court is 

 the Religion of Science, that is, the religion of verified and verifiable truth. 



Although opposed to irrational orthodoxy and narrow bigotry, The Open 

 Court does not attack the properly religious element of the various religions 

 It criticises their errors unflinchingly but without animosity, and endeavors 

 to preserve of them all that is true and good. 



The current numbers of The Open Court contain valuable original articles 

 from the pens of distinguished thinkers. Accurate and authorised transla- 

 tions are made in Philosophy, Science, and Criticism from the literature of 

 Continental Europe, and reviews of noteworthy recent investigations are pre 

 sented. Portraits of eminent philosophers and scientists are published, and 

 appropriate illustrations accompany some of the articles. 



Terms; Si.oo a year; Si. 35 to foreign countries in the Postal Union. 

 Single Copies, lo cents.
