Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is refreshing in this age of indifference and often of avowed hostility to metaphysics to find a writer who, as the author of this volume, is nothing if not metaphysical, and whose metaphysic is invariably clear, sound and impressive. Dr. Derr's aim is twofold; first, to prove the necessity of an "Uncaused Being" and, second, to establish a "criterion of truth". His argument for an Uncaused Being is, that if anything exists, an Uncaused Being exists; that the world exists; and that the world itself can not be the Uncaused Being: for inasmuch as the atoms or ultimate elements of the universe are in motion, it cannot be a continuum, it cannot be as large, consequently, as if it were a continuum, and hence it cannot be infinite and so uncaused; and, on the other hand, no more may we say that the world is the uncaused being, if we regard it pantheistically, for that would mean that we, though only parts of the great whole or God, were comprehending and so judging him, and this would violate the a priori and so necessary axium that the whole is greater than the parts. That is, unless the universe is a caused thing like man himself, it cannot offer, as it does, a legitimate field of conquest for the human mind. In a word, we can not entertain the idea of cosmic evolution without violating an axiomatic truth. To be reasonable, therefore, we must hold to a First and Infinite and so Uncaused Cause; and while we can know him only in so far as he reveals himself to us, we must conceive of him as at least personal, intelligent, conscious and free-as at least all that dignifies us, who are most like him, only without limitation. As to "the criterion of truth", the author finds it in "the concordance between pure or priori conceptions of the understanding and senst perception." Whatever will not stand this test in both respects, he would reject; whatever will, he would accept. It is evident at once that such a discussion as the above must reckon with the pluralism of Prof. James and with Sir Oliver Lodge's teaching that the ether is a continuum and that universal space is a plenum of it. This Dr. Derr does; and his criterion, though brief, is effective and even adequate. We regard this book as a valuable addition to our literature in fundamental apologetics. -The Princeton Theological Review, Volume 9 [1911]

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uncaused Being, and the Criterion of Truth to Which Is Appended an Examination of the Views, of Sir Oliver Lodge Concerning the Ether of Space This work was completed before the death of William James, professor of philosophy in Harvard University, and the criticisms of his Pluralistic philosophy stand exactly as then written, without additions or alterations of any kind. As a man, Prof. James was beloved by all who knew him, and his benevolent nature and open mindedness endeared him to many whose philosophical views differed radically from his own. But esteem for the man should not disarm criticism of the writings he has laid before the world. In his last work, "A Pluralistic Universe," Prof. James, in declaring for a finite God, strikes at the very foundation of Monotheism. Polytheism, with all of its absurdities, is the logical outcome of such a philosophy. Prof. James seems to have been so weighed down by the presence of so much suffering in the world that he could not reconcile it with the existence of an Omnipotent Deity. He therefore declares in his "Pluralistic Universe": - "I believe that the only God worthy of the name must be finite.
