Scientific Transcendentalism (1880)

By D. M.

Book Overview

BennettScientific Transcendentalism, written by D. M. Bennett and first published in 1880, is a philosophical treatise that seeks to reconcile scientific inquiry with spiritual transcendence. Bennett argues that the scientific method and the pursuit of knowledge through empirical evidence should not be seen as mutually exclusive with the search for spiritual truth and enlightenment.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Bennett provides a historical overview of the development of scientific thought and the emergence of transcendentalism in the United States. He argues that both movements share a common goal of seeking truth and understanding the world around us.In the second part, Bennett delves into the principles of scientific transcendentalism. He outlines the importance of reason and logic in scientific inquiry, while also acknowledging the limitations of the scientific method in explaining certain aspects of the human experience. Bennett also explores the concept of spiritual transcendence, arguing that it can be achieved through meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual practices.The final part of the book is dedicated to practical applications of scientific transcendentalism. Bennett offers advice on how to live a fulfilling life that balances scientific inquiry with spiritual growth. He also discusses the role of education in promoting scientific transcendentalism and the importance of social and political reform in creating a more just and equitable society.Overall, Scientific Transcendentalism is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between science and spirituality. Bennett's ideas remain relevant today as people continue to search for meaning and purpose in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
