"Down through the ages, the pages of verse and prose record countless famous contests between wrestlers, boxers and runners, starting with David who won in another field. The satisfaction ---- even love ---- of conflict inspired writers to chronicles which have lasted through the centuries.

New York: Philosophical Library, 1954. Hint of edge wear, gently scuffed, no dj, corners are gently rubbed, lightly shelf worn, overall a very clean used first edition! 455 very clean, unmarked and uncreased, historical and thought-provoking pages! This book is an analysis of a typical case of religious thought. The study of the religious thinking of Samuel Alexander is incidental to a larger purpose. The larger purpose is to analyze the intellectual problem which underlies all religion. To be sure religion is not merely an intellectual problem, any more than getting food for the body or establishing a home. But these all involve intellectual problems of great importance. If the intellectual problem is misunderstood in such wise that the proposed solution is confused or false, disaster may ensue whether it be a religion or food for the body or a home that is under consideration.".

The reader is led gently but firmly through much close-knit argument and is shown where and how validity is to be found and ways in which fallacious arguments can be detected and exposed.".

Schlegel styles it an echo of Greek song, an epithet as appropriate as it is elegant; for, without any servile imitation of classic models, this beautiful drama, through the medium of its polished verse, reproduces in softened characters the graceful and…
