Skepticism a Retrogressive Movement in Theology and Philosophy as Contrasted with the Church of England

By Lord Lindsay

Book Overview

The book ""Skepticism a Retrogressive Movement in Theology and Philosophy as Contrasted with the Church of England"" by Lord Lindsay is a detailed analysis of the concept of skepticism and its impact on theology and philosophy. The author argues that skepticism is a regressive movement that hinders progress in these fields, and contrasts it with the Church of England's embrace of reason and faith.Lindsay delves into the historical origins of skepticism, tracing it back to ancient Greek philosophy and its influence on modern thought. He also examines the ways in which skepticism has been used as a tool for challenging religious beliefs and undermining traditional values.Throughout the book, Lindsay presents a compelling case for the importance of faith and reason in shaping our understanding of the world. He argues that skepticism, by its very nature, is unable to provide a coherent and meaningful worldview, and that it ultimately leads to nihilism and despair.Overall, ""Skepticism a Retrogressive Movement in Theology and Philosophy as Contrasted with the Church of England"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the role of skepticism in intellectual inquiry.1861. Catholic (at once) and Protestant, stable and progressive: two letters of points of present interest, addressed to the Rev. W.B. Bryan, Rector of Rodington and the Hon. Colin Lindsay. My object in these two Letters has been to suggest a governing principle, a law, native to a region superior to that of ordinary polemics, and which by its simplicity and universality may obviate the necessity, to those who recognize it, of volumes of argument on the secondary and derivative relations of the respective subjects. The moral of both Letters, and more especially of the second, is caution, the grand desideratum in these days of transition; when, through partial judgment and imprudent legislation, we are in danger of taking steps which, once made, can never be retraced.
