The Power of Silence

De: Horatio Dresser

Narrado por: Barry J. Peterson

This volume is the first of a series of studies of the inner life, the main purpose of which is twofold. The point of approach is from the side of practical experience, and the first object is the development of a practical method. But incidentally, it is hoped that the facts and values of this practical study may be of service to philosophy. In fact, the production of these volumes was begun with the conviction that philosophy and life may be brought nearer, that practical interests put new demands upon philosophy; while the practical man may be greatly benefited by the study of idealistic first principles.

Hence, the point of view is midway between the world of exact thinking and the world of actual living. The interest is not primarily psychological, nor is it ethical or religious. Yet, all of these interests play a part. That is to say, aside from one's particular faith, there seems to be a demand for a new science and a new art: the art and science of the inner life investigated in the freest spirit without regard to specific doctrines.
