Excerpt from The Objectivity of Truth

The greater part of this Essay was written in Germany in 1883, at the close of my second year of study as Hibbert Travelling Scholar. The theory advocated in it, however, had occurred to me in its main outlines several years previously upon first becoming acquainted with Hegelian thought through Dr. Hutchison Stirling"s celebrated work, "The Secret of Hegel."

The earlier portion of the Essay is principally historical, and relates to the conditions under which the problem arose, the solution of which is here attempted. That problem is the combination of the two schools whose development marks the progress of modern Philosophy. To this end it was necessary to point out that the Kantian and Scottish philosophies offer only inadequate, partial, and respectively one-sided solutions of the difficulties such a combination involves. The following pages are an attempt to enunciate a principle that may re-unite the divergent streams of speculation which flowed from Kant and Reid.

The last two chapters deal with the application of this principle to scientific and religious truth.
