Abstract
- The author describes his general philosophical points of view. He gives details of the events which he thinks have determined his present thoughts. The background of his early thinking was a German home in which the ideals of the revolution of 1848 were a living force. His parents had broken through the shackles of religious dogma. An early intense interest in nature and a burning desire to see everything that the author heard or read about dominated his youth. He was shocked when one of his student friends, a theologian, declared his belief in the authority of tradition and his conviction that one had not the right to doubt what the past had transmitted to us.
