Outlines of Mormon Philosophy
Or the Answers Given by the Gospel, as Revealed Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, to the Questions of Life

"Outlines of Mormon Philosophy" by Lycurgus A. Wilson is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book aims to systematically present the foundational beliefs of Mormonism as revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith, offering insights into fundamental questions regarding existence, the nature of God, and the purpose of life. It positions Mormonism as a comprehensive explanation of life's mysteries. In this work, Wilson divides the discussion into three main parts: the conditions that precede existence (including concepts of space, time, matter, and intelligences), an overview of the Gospel—including its inception, purpose, plan, and covenants—and the conditions that follow (focusing on human nature and the environment). The author argues that the Gospel provides answers to the key existential questions: who humans are, their origin, their purpose on Earth, and their ultimate fate. Wilson emphasizes the Gospel's emphasis on love, hope, and the necessity of spiritual growth through trials, encouraging readers to embrace their spiritual journeys in the quest for eternal life.
