Summary: "The Will to Doubt: An Essay in Philosophy for the General Thinker" by Alfred H. Lloyd is a philosophical work written in the early 20th century. The essay addresses the pervasive nature of doubt in contemporary life and explores its implications for belief, knowledge, and human experience. It aims to provide an understanding of doubt not merely as a negative force, but as an essential component of genuine belief and inquiry. At the start of this essay, the author outlines the current age as one characterized by widespread doubt across various aspects of life, including morality, religion, and politics. Lloyd emphasizes that doubt is intrinsic to consciousness and human experience, urging readers to confront it directly rather than ignore its presence. He posits that doubt can serve a positive role in life, driving inquiry and deeper understanding. The opening portion also establishes the framework of the essay by indicating that the exploration of doubt will lead to insights about its necessity for real belief and the human experience.
