As soon as man becomes conscious of his existence, as soon as he
was able to reason, he was bound to ask himself the questions:
"From whence did I come? And "Whither do I go?" It was very natural
that he should wonder how he came to be here on earth and what
would become of him after death. He saw his fellow man fall asleep,
never to awaken. He saw others killed, life extinguished. It was
his efforts to solve these problems that caused primitive man to
create beliefs in life after death and in the power of super-human
beings. When we look back over the experiences of the race, the
history of mankind, we find that man has found three different ways
of explaining his activities. In other words, there have been but
three conceptions of history, three basic explanations by man of
his doings on this planet. It is true that more than three names
have been given to these conceptions of history, but they will all
fall within the following: First, in order of time, is the
Theological Conception of History; Second, is the Idealist
Conception of History, and, third, is the Materialist Conception of
History.
