Excerpt from Scientific Studies: Their Place and Use in EducationWe have been considering the nature of man, let us now look at the world in which man is placed and to which he is so intimately related. This world is composed of three elements: matter, inorganic and organic, mind and character. Man is in the midst of a vast material and organic universe which is governed by forces acting in obedience to divine law. He is surrounded by personal intelligences and characters which constitute the intel lectual and moral world. The introduction of the element of a free will into a world of law results in great diversity, as well as in great possibilities of good and evil. The aggregation of these physical, rational and moral natures constitutes the complex fabric of human society with all its numerous relations and obligations, and its social possibilities. Beyond all this, man is morally accountable to a Being of infinite excellencies and powers. Such then, in brief, is the nature of man and the constitution of the world in which he exists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
