Logia.

(Note. As the discovery of these Logia became productive of a large number of articles and pamphlets, and revived the Agrapha-study, we give here the agrapha-literature in gen eral. The list is certainly the most comprehensive which has ever been published. Works published before the year 1897 refer to the so-called Agrapha or extra-canonical say ings of Jesus found in patristic literature and elsewhere. Works published in and after 1897, have reference to the so-called Oxyrhynchus-Logia.)

philosophical systems were mere air-castles (constructions of abstract theories), built in the realm of pure thought. The Philosophy of Science is a eystematization of positive facts; it takes experience as its foundation, and uses the systematized formal relations of experience (mathe matics, logic, etc.) as its method. It is opposed on the one hand to the dogmatism of groundless a priori assumptions, and on the other hand, to the scepticism of negation which finds expression in the agnostic tendencies of to-day.

Monism Means

a Unitary

World -Conception There may be different aspects and even contrasts, diverse views and opposite standpoints, but there can never be contradiction in truth. Monism is not a one-substance theory, be

it materialistic or spiritual or agnostic; it means simply and solely CON SISTENCY. All truths form one consistent system, and any dualism of irreconcilable statements indicates that there is a problem to be solved; there must be fault somewhere either in our reasoning or in our knowledge of facts. Science always implies Monism, i. e., a unitary world-conception. Illustrated Catalogue and Sample Copies Free.
