Founded by sir josiah mason with 3 conditions: no party politics, no theology, no mere literary instruction and education. Coined the term agnostic: neither believing or disbelieving. A crusader for the physical and natural sciences. Natural science used to be a terrible thing. Esteemed poet, a victorian great alongside tennyson and browning. To know ourselves and the world, we have to know the best which has been thought and said in the world. But education system still based on ancient thinking. A set of ideals by which you estimate the value of things. We can get this from religions, education, family, culture , friends and you. To know ourselves and the world, we have to know the best which has been thought and said in the world. arnold (as quoted by huxley)
