Abstract
(1) PROBABLY, the argument for theism which appeals most to the average man is the argument from design. Kant's philosophical criticism, and the biological theory of natural selection, are usually supposed to have weakened its force. Dr. W. R. Matthews, in the volume before us, examines it afresh.
