Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Secret of Personality: The Problem of Man's Personal Life as Viewed in the Light of an Hypothesis of Man's Religious Faith

Here are no more profound and difficult problems than those which concern the personal life of man.

Indeed, it might successfully be argued that all other problems are in some sort largely included in the answers given to these problems. This is not true alone from the theoretical point of View, as affecting our conclusions touching all the fundamental issues of philosophy, religion, and the positive sciences. It is pre-eminently true as touching all the practical issues of life. What shall I think of myself, my origin, the meaning of my life, the values which it seeks to realize, and my destiny; these are inquiries, than Which no other lie so near to the vital interests of every man.

And surely, at no other time in human history has the pressure of the inquiry into the secret of human personal life and the measurement of its fundamental and eternal values if indeed it has any such been more insistent and spiritually disturbing. All the advances of mod ern science and art, and all the recent increases in the material prosperity of the human race, as well as all the tenets of morality and religion.
