To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reality is not to be surpassed, except locally and temporarily, by the ideals of knowledge and goodness invented by a fraction of itself; and if we could grasp the entire scheme of things, so far from wishing to "shatter it to bits and then Remould it nearer to the heart's desire, " we should hail it as better and more satisfying than any of our random imaginings. The universe is in no way limited to our conceptions : it has a reality apart from them; nevertheless, they themselves Religion and ...Philosophy 83 constitute a part of it, and can only take a clear and consistent character in so far as they correspond with something true and real. Whatever we can clearly and consistently conceive, that is ipso facto in a sense already existent in the universe as a whole; and that, or something better, we shall find to be a dim foreshadowing of a higher reality. EXPLANATORY NOTE ON CONSTRUCTIVE THOUGHT AND OPTIMISM It may be worth while to explain how it is that, to a physicist unsmitten with any taint of solipsism, a well-elaborated scheme which is consistent with already known facts necessarily seems to correspond, or have close affinity, with the truth.
