Stephen Pearl Andrews, “The Science of Universology” (XXV–XXXVI)

December 9, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

[one_third padding=”0 10px 0 0px”] The Science of Universology appeared in 36 installments in the free religionist paper, The Index, between January 4, 1877 and June 19, 1879, following the conclusion of a debate between Andrews, Benjamin R. Tucker and William Batchelder Greene regarding Proudhon. It is essentially a third book-length examination of Andrews proposed universal science, following two volumes published in book form: The Primary Synopsis of Universology and Alwato: The New Scientific Universal Language (1871) The Basic Outline of Universology (1872) (An early discussion of universology appeared in the Spiritual Telegraph in 1857.)

Stephen Pearl Andrews, “The Labor Dollar” (1877)

November 27, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

As the labor question is steadily and rapidly increasing in recognized importance, every effort should be made to place its “social solutions” upon a thoroughly scientific basis. One of these “solutions” relates specially to the true and ultimate system of currency. I have just received from some unknown friend, probably the author, a small pamphlet entitled “The Labor Question: what it is, method of its solution, and remedy for its evils,” by Charles Thomas Fowler.

Stephen Pearl Andrews, “The Science of Universology” (1877–1879) (I–XII)

November 27, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

For the merely preliminary statement of what universology is, the reader is referred to the last half of my reply to Mr. Tucker (Index August 10). That statement will enable the reader to know about the subject. But to know about a thing is one thing, and to know the thing itself is quite another thing. I am now to undertake to enable one to know universology itself in some measure,—still, however, a very primary, and incipient sense; to give to the reader that insight at least which will enable him to judge whether it is the kind of thing which it would interest him to pursue further, by the study of the more extended expositions contained in books published and to be published on the subject. I must, at the same time, however, occupy a portion of the very limited space which I feel is assigned to me, in simple declaration of the true nature and immense scope and value of the new sciento-philosophy.

Stephen Pearl Andrews, “The Baby World” (1855)

November 26, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

The big houses are going to be built. The Baby World is going to exist. The grand Domestic Revolution is going to take place. The tiny coffins will no longer be made and hid away in the dark tombs. The little gravestones will no longer be planted in the graveyards; and the voice heard in Rama, Rachel weeping for her children because they were not, will forever cease to be heard.

Stephen Pearl Andrews, “A Short Method with the Infallibility of the Pope” (1876)

January 20, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

[one_third padding=”0 10px 0 0px”] Debates in The Index: [/one_third][two_third_last padding=”0 0px 0 10px”] A SHORT METHOD WITH THE INFALLIBILITY OF THE POPE. Doubtless, when the Pope is truly fulfilling his function of Supreme Pontifex, of Pontifex Maximus, he is infallible; for it is only when he makes no mistakes that he is fulfilling that function. So every other man, when doing rightly his supreme devoir, is infallible, for the same reason. It is only when a man is off the tripod that he makes mistakes, because to make mistakes is to be off the tripod. Stephen Pearl Andrews. Stephen […]
