Description
Summary:"In this book the author sets forth the outlines of the philosophical projects she pursued: the reconciliation of natural and revealed religion, the relationship of mind and matter, and the unity of the physical and mental universe joined in an inexorable movement toward harmony. Much influenced by the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, she draws on explorations in science to argue for the continued growth of "a perfected system of cooperations in which all sentient and unsentient forces mutually co-work in securing the highest ultimate good ... by which successive generations ... of being are mutually aiding each other into higher stages of existence."
