- Summary
- Professor Guerard's testament, the bottle which he throws into the sea of world thought for perceptive fishermen to notice, was written solely for the satisfaction of his own conscience and is marked by its purpose. For he writes of ideas with the familiarity and tenderness of a man who has lived with and loved them. He finds the dignity of man in thought, upholding Descartes as the faithful doubter who kept his freedom to challenge in thought despite appeasement in conduct. He upholds The Enlightenment which overstepped itself going from reason to reasonableness -- yet reason is the servant of faith.
