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 (191 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120766861)

The Uncaused Being And The Criterion Of Truth is a philosophical book written by Ezra Z. Derr in 1911. The book explores the concept of an uncaused being, which is a being that exists without any external cause or explanation. Derr argues that the existence of an uncaused being is necessary to explain the origin of the universe and the existence of life.In addition to discussing the concept of an uncaused being, the book also examines the criterion of truth. Derr argues that truth is not subjective or relative, but rather objective and absolute. He asserts that there are certain principles and laws that govern the universe and that these principles and laws can be discovered through reason and observation.The book concludes with an examination of the views of Sir Oliver Lodge concerning the ether of space. Lodge was a physicist who believed in the existence of a medium called the ether that permeated all of space. Derr critiques Lodge's views and argues that the ether is not necessary to explain the behavior of light and other electromagnetic waves.Overall, The Uncaused Being And The Criterion Of Truth is a thought-provoking book that explores some of the most fundamental questions of existence and truth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
