Religious vs. Scientific Methods
I first read classical and modern Western and Eastern philosophers when I was fifteen,and have since considered myself a person with a humanistic, pragmatic, secular, and philosophical outlook on most matters. I have been content to use reasoning and science to help me solve most of my problems. Like most people, I make room for mystical,mythical, poetic, and symbolic viewpoints when dealing with many artistic,
psychological and values issues.

“Books alone, however well written, or richly stored with facts, cannot teach all that is necessary to be know about the subject; they can only act as a guide. We must examine the work of the past, and note down errors of practice that have led to failures for rectification; so as to go forward with additional experience and a firm resolve to merit success in the new year.”
- T. W. Saunders, 1887
