Description
Summary:Mr Samuel Johnson said, I believe, that no question of precedence could arise between a flea and a louse. If we asked the average educated Westerner a similar question about theology and philosophy (at least of the old type), he would very probably, though perhaps more politely, give a similar answer; the question of precedence between theology and philosophy has become quite irrelevant, except perhaps to a small, archaic and esoteric clique still entrenched in the traditionalism of the older universities, who taught and wrote about theology and metaphysics. Having been jealous and contending queens these subjects have become Cinderellas.
