Excerpt from Syllabus of the Lectures on the Students' Mission Foundation for 1905-1906 There is to the human mind no study more interesting and instructive than the tracing of the origin of human thought, and to such a study it is the Greeks and Indians that have made the most valuable contributions. The Greeks and Indians are the only two nations that can boast of a philosophical literature that has developed by itself independently and spontaneously. Other nations have no doubt attempted to throw light on the problems of Life and Mind, and have tried to investigate the hidden mysteries of God, Soul and Immortality, but their speculations are wanting in the characteristics of independence and individuality. The contributions to speculative thought of China, Persia, Syria and Egypt, in themselves fragmentary and insignificant, can be traced more or less to foreign sources, whilst the richer and more elaborate and accurate systems of thought of occidental nations can be shown to have a vital organic connection with the thought systems of Greece and Rome; but this is not the case with the philosophy of India or of Greece, for each has a national stamp of its own.
