The Power of Silence: A Study of the Values and Ideals of the Inner Life is a book written by Horatio Willis Dresser in 1904. This book explores the concept of silence and its power in our lives. Dresser argues that silence is not a negative absence of sound, but rather a positive presence of peace and stillness. Through silence, we can tap into our inner selves and connect with a higher power or consciousness.The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring a different aspect of silence. Dresser discusses the importance of cultivating silence in our lives, and how it can help us develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. He also explores the role of silence in various spiritual traditions, such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism.Throughout the book, Dresser emphasizes the value of introspection and self-reflection. He encourages readers to take time for quiet contemplation, to listen to their inner voice, and to cultivate a sense of inner peace. He also discusses the importance of living in harmony with nature and the universe, and how silence can help us achieve this.Overall, The Power of Silence is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the transformative power of silence in our lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, personal growth, and self-discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The point of approach is from the side of practical experience, and the first object is the development of a practical method. But, incidentally, it is hoped that the facts and values of this practical study may be of service to philosophy. In fact, the production of these volumes was begun with the conviction that philosophy and life may be brought nearer, that practical interests put new demands upon philosophy; while the practical man may be greatly benefited by the study of idealistic first principles. Hence the point of view is midway between the world of exact thinking and the world of actual living. The interest is not primarily psychological; noris it ethical or religious. Yet all of these interests play a part. That is to say, aside from ones particular faith, there seems to be a demand for a new science and a new art: the art and science of the inner life investigated in the freest spirit without regard to specific doctrines.
