﻿THE OPEN COURT 



A WEEKLY MAGAZINE 



DEVOTED TO THE RELIGION OF SCIENCE 



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 Tke Open Cozirt is 

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



Although opposed to irrational orthodoxy and narrow bigotry, The Open 

 Cozirt 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 periodical 

 literature of Continental Europe, and reviews of noteworthy recent investiga- 

 tions are presented. 



Terms : One dollar a year throughout the Postal Union. Single Copies, 

 5 cents.
