This 1913 work on the philosophy of science covers a wide range of topics, including “Mechanicalism and Teleology, ” “Time and Space, ” “Man’s Divinity, ” “Mark Twain’s Philosophy, ” “La Mettrie’s View of Man as a Machine.” Carus’s study of the subject from both scientific and theistic perspectives is fair and absorbing.
