Some Influences in Modern Philosophic Thought BEING THE FIFTH SERIES OF JOHN CALVIN MCNAIR By ARTHUR TWINING HADLEY LUX NEW HAVEN: YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON: HENRY FROWDE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AFC PREFACE By the will of the late John Calvin McNair a course of lectures was established at the University of North Carolina whose object should be to show the mutual bearing of science and theology upon each other. It was my privilege to serve as McNair Lecturer in the year 1912. I have published the lectures substantially as they were delivered; but I have divided what was originally the first lecture into two separate chapters. I have taken the liberty of adding, as an Appendix, a brief discussion of the meaning of the term Philosophy, which has not been hitherto published, and an estimate of the influence of Darwin upon historical and political thought, reprinted from the Psychological Review for May, 1909. |
