The debate on materialism and force in science and theology
The text argues against materialist views that force is inherent in matter, defending force as knowable only by its effects. It critiques Aristotle’s first mover and Epicurean self motion ideas, defends direct consciousness against positivism, and discusses religion's relation to morality and imagination with praise for Dr. Flint's thorough treatment.
