In this series of lectures, Scottish philosopher James McCosh argues for the compatibility of Christianity and positivism, a scientific and philosophical movement that emerged in the 19th century. McCosh contends that Christianity provides a solid metaphysical foundation for positivist inquiry, and that positivism offers a rigorous methodology for studying the natural world.
