THE OPEN COURT 



A WEEKLY MAGAZINE 

 DEVOTED TO THE RELIGION OF SCIENCE 



THE OPEN COURT does not understand by religion any 

 creed or dogmatic 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 Cozirt does not attack the properly religious element of 

 the various religions. It criticises their errors unflinchingly but 

 without animosity, and it endeavors to preserve of them all that 

 is good and true. 



The current numbers of The Open Court contain valuable orig- 

 inal articles from the pens of distinguished thinkers. Accurate and 

 authorized translations are made in Philosophv, Science, and Criti- 

 cism from the periodical literature of Continental Europe, and reviews 

 of noteworthy recent investigations arc presented. 



Terms: Two dollars a year throughout the Postal Union. Single 

 Copies, 5 cents.
