King's College, London Buddha and God
In the last of three talki based on the Wilde Lectures delivered at Oxford in 1960, Professor Lewis examines the question of the Buddha's ' atheism ' and the .evidence for this in the Pali Canon. The
Buddha's teaching resembles modern
Positivism and anti-metaphysical thought —but it is ' sceptical with a difference.'

Some of the most liberal intellectuals of the Victorian period viewed the coming of democracy with dismay, and Its few champions were on the defensive. Time has perhaps vindicated the democratic case so far as England is concerned; but experience elsewhere may equally be seen as confirming the opinions of the critics of democracy.
