Reason and Belief

Reason and Belief by Sir Oliver Lodge is a philosophical treatise that explores the relationship between reason and belief. Lodge, a renowned physicist and philosopher, argues that reason and belief are not necessarily opposed to each other, but rather can work together to provide a more complete understanding of the world. He examines the ways in which reason and belief have been historically intertwined, and how they continue to shape our understanding of the world today. Lodge also discusses the role of intuition, faith, and scientific inquiry in shaping our beliefs, and how they can be used to complement and enhance our reasoning. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex and often contentious relationship between reason and belief, and is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, science, or the nature of knowledge.1910. My own researches have led me to perceive a profound substratum of truth underlying ancient doctrines, and in so far as the progress of science instead of undermining actually illustrates and illumines some of them, I conceive it to be my duty as well as my privilege to indicate to the best of my ability how matters stand. Part I of this book deals with the subject of incarnation and ultimately leads up to a brief consideration of the momentous Christian doctrine-The Incarnation. Part II furnishes hints and suggestions for the effective treating of the Old Testament in the light of the doctrine of evolution. Part III is of the nature of an apologia and anticipatory reply to critics.
