| Summary |
"Throughout the composition of this lecture, I have had before my eyes and mind the figures of Aristotle, founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and his great Christian commentator, St. Thomas Aquinas. It has long been my ambition to reproduce, however inadequately, some of the features of these two illustrious Rationalists, in the conviction that their account of, and plea for, the headship of human Reason, were never more sorely needed than in an age when the many derivatives of the word Ratio (Reason) are in constant and vigorous circulation, while the faculty itself is left unregarded, unanalysed, and undisciplined, to the detriment, if not the ruin, of philosophy and religion alike. To lull all fears to rest, and as part requital of the great favour you have done me, I think I can promise that I shall not overpass the philosophical boundaries of my title, nor raid the realm of Theology, nor trouble you with hard sayings touching Divine Revelation or the Supernatural. Thus I hope to confine myself to the elementary psychology which is the basis of Rationalism. The Rationalism I shall try to expound has had the start of the Rationalism, say, of the Rationalist Press Association, by about 2,200 years, and has drawn to it the greatest intellects of the world from Aristotle through St. Thomas Aquinas down to the little group of Oxford scholars who are now engaged on a new edition of the Opera Omnia of the founder of the Peripatetic school"--Create.
