From the Robin Catalogue:
A. MS., n.p., n.d., pp. 1-5, incomplete.
This is the first lecture of the course planned in MS. 876. Double purpose of lecture: (1) to determine what a reasonable mind of the day ought to think of religion and (2) to comment on the validity of reasoning in general. Three and only three kinds of reasoning. Abduction, or retroduction. CSP’s objectivity on the question of God’s existence. If there is an Absolute, it is nothing like God.
