Space, Time, and Deity, Vol. 1 of 2: The Gifford Lectures at Glasgow, 1916-1918 (Classic Reprint)

The following work was written, and, except for some revision, in its present form, for the Gif Ford Lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow in the sessions 1916-18. The spoken lectures were based upon the book, but for reasons of time did not follow the text closely. I have accordingly omitted all reference to them in the division of the subject. I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the University of Glasgow for the honour they did me in entrusting me with the office of Gif Ford Lecturer ;and to my audience for the attention with which they listened to me. The substance of various published papers has been incorporated into the book, and in several places, notably in the chapters on Freedom and Value, passages have been repeated verbally with the kind permission of the editors of Mind and the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. The first volume and the first two chapters of the second were in pages before the summer of last year, and accordingly I have made no reference to Mr. A. N. Whitehead swork on The Principles of Natural Knowledge, nor to Mr. Einstein sgeneralised form of the Theory of Relativity (the earlier restricted form I have ventured to refer to) which has lately become generally known in this country through Mr. Eddington and other exponents.
