Summary "A Candid Examination of Theism" by George John Romanes is a philosophical essay written in the late 19th century. The work critically explores the arguments for and against the existence of God, engaging with both theistic and atheistic perspectives while emphasizing the importance of reason and scientific inquiry. Romanes sets out to analyze various arguments in favor of Theism, arguing that each presents significant logical challenges while advocating for a rational examination of existential questions. The opening of the essay outlines Romanes's intent to approach the question of God's existence through a lens of rational inquiry rather than reliance on faith or tradition. He acknowledges the historical significance of this debate and the evolution of thought surrounding it. The preface highlights his commitment to assessing well-known arguments for Theism critically, as well as acknowledging the influence of contemporaries like John Stuart Mill. Romanes establishes that the investigation of Theism should be conducted using the same rigorous scientific methods that have proven effective in other areas of human knowledge, thereby setting the stage for a comprehensive analysis of various lines of reasoning regarding the existence of a deity.
