Agnosticism Versus Dogmatism (1884)

By F. Sydney Morris

Book Overview

Agnosticism Versus Dogmatism is a philosophical treatise written by F. Sydney Morris in 1884. The book explores the two opposing views of agnosticism and dogmatism and their implications on the human mind and society. Morris argues that agnosticism, which holds that knowledge of ultimate reality is impossible, is a more rational and humble approach to life than dogmatism, which asserts absolute certainty in one's beliefs. He examines the origins and evolution of these two philosophies, their impact on religion, science, and morality, and their potential for promoting or hindering progress and freedom. Morris also critiques the arguments of prominent thinkers such as Thomas Huxley, Herbert Spencer, and John Stuart Mill, and offers his own insights on the nature of truth, faith, and reason. The book remains a significant contribution to the ongoing debate between skeptics and believers, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of knowledge and belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
