Excerpt from The Philosophy of Religion The inquiry on which I here propose to embark addresses itself neither to those already satisfied nor to the anxious. The former are to be found in all camps, - not least among the so-called free-thinkers - a class of men which, like that of worms in the Linnaean system, can only be characterised by negative predicates, since it has to embrace so many different forms. Those already satisfied hold in reserve a definite solution, negative or positive, of the religious problem, and hence have lost all taste for further thinking on the subject. The anxious are afraid to think about it. My Inquiry, therefore, addresses itself to the seekers. Ein Wer dender wird immer dankbar sein, in whatever direction his quest may lead him. Philosophy, as is well known, is richer in ideas, points of View, and discussions than in definite results.
