author Of d "History Of the Philosophy

"Agnosticism" compliments and makes
more explicit his still widely-read and
much-dsclssed '"Thesm." Defining ag-
Mysticism as an archaeological theory

as more contracted than they really are.
the author never appeals to his deflni-
ton Itself as q reason. He proceeds
from n positive analysis or the nature
of agnosticsn and after examining va

position Of its relationship to religion
and towards God. His book cannot but
add to the sum of wisdom IN both thels-
tic and agnostic minds.
