Excerpt from The Problem of Religion
The little book presented here is not a treatise on theological apologetics in an old sense of the term. I have rather been interested to trace out, in a way which would be fairly consonant with our present knowledge, and satisfactory to my own scientific conscience, the natural implications of our common and our scientific experience with a view to seeing what justification could be given for a religious conception of the world, independently of revelation, or of any other cabalistic sources of religious truth. My way has not been an entirely new way. If it were, it would rightly be under suspicion. The philosophical reader will likely miss many of the refinements of modem philosophical speculation, and any distinct recognition of the very energetic reaction to idealism, of which (I trust he will believe) I am not entirely innocent. To the essential truth in pragmatism, that new version of a very ancient way of thinking, I have indeed tried to do justice.
