The Meaning of Rationalism and Other Essays is a collection of philosophical essays written by Charles Watts and originally published in 1905. The book explores various aspects of rationalism, including its historical development, its relationship to religion and science, and its implications for ethics and politics. Watts argues that rationalism is a fundamental human impulse, rooted in our desire to understand the world and make sense of our place in it. He also contends that rationalism has played a critical role in shaping modern society, particularly in the areas of science, technology, and democracy. In addition to the title essay, the book includes several other pieces that touch on related themes, such as the nature of truth, the limits of human knowledge, and the role of reason in moral decision-making. Overall, The Meaning of Rationalism and Other Essays offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration of one of the most important philosophical movements of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

These poems speak in many voices on many things--visionary, introspective, often given flights of language and imagination and metaphor that root themselves in the ordinary and commonplace only then to take the reader, suddenly and as if by magic, to some extraordinary place. Charles Watts thinks and writes with clarity and wit, whether about personal relationships, deer in the garden, or eternity, and his darkness never dims his light and his light never denies the dark. -Bruce Rowe (author: Poems of the Night and Day)
