About this book
Mountain Meditations, and Some Subjects of the Day and the War is by L. Lind-af-Hageby. The contents list names, among others, Mountain-Tops, The Borderland and Reformers. The opening words say: I belong to the great and mystic brotherhood of mountain worshippers. The text says mountain worshippers are a motley crowd drawn from all lands and all ages, and that the sight and smell of the mountain affect them like nothing else on earth.
The text says that Schopenhauer compares philosophy to an Alpine road, often bringing the wanderer to the edge of the chasm, but rewarding him as he ascends with oblivion of the discords and irregularities of the world. The text says that Lecky invokes the heights as the only safe place from which to view history and discover the great permanent forces through which nations are moved to improvement or decay. The text says authority in matters religious is being superseded by exploration.
