Excerpt from The Progress of the Intellect, Vol. 1 of 2: As Ememplified in the Religious Development of the Greeks and Hebrews
They who knowing little are yet aware that there is much to know naturally feel impressed with humility; their first effort in endeavouring to promote education will be to educate themselves; they will be the last to slight the religious Opinions of other men and other times when differing from their own.

The study of mythology seems to be nearly abandoned among us except as a trifling matter of school routine. We value ourselves on knowledge of facts, and parade our indifference for fables. Yet this is affecting a superiority to winch we have little right. Certainly if it were in our power to reach pure truth, fable might cease to interest us, except as an angel may be supposed to take a pitying interest in human frivolities. But fiction is not peculiar to antiquity; it is as inseparable from human thought as shadow from substance. Nature knows no breaks or harsh distinctions. The classes, æras, &c., into which we separate her varieties arc little more than convenient resting-places for the mind in the round of imperceptible gradation, not ultimate facts. No contrasts appear greater than those of past and present, fact and fiction, faith and knowledge, mythology and philosophy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of religious beliefs and practices throughout the ages. The author argues that early religious thought was dominated by superstition and a lack of understanding of the natural world. As societies became more advanced, so did their religious beliefs, gradually moving away from the concrete and towards the abstract. This shift was accompanied by a growing emphasis on morality and ethics. The book concludes that religion is a constantly evolving phenomenon, reflecting the changing needs and aspirations of humanity.
