' Intellectual Faith '...

The Age of Faith has been succeeded by sceptic psychology, but the cycle of development is not at an end yet.

For we shall return anew to our starting point, but this time it will be an intellectual Faith.

We have learned to question the universe and life; we have pushed thinking to its uttermost limits; we can go no farther and must perforce sink to our knees once more in humble prayer.

Then we shall acquire an unshakeable faith that will survive every question, every doubt, and that will carry us through the struggles of existence with serenity and strength.
