igion_, pp. 240-281. This latter is a
volume of ten essays by well-known German religious teachers.
[14] The President of the British Association (1912) states in his
address that it is not within his province to touch the question
concerning the nature of the soul. I take the report of his address
from _Nature_, 5th September. Dr Haldane goes much further in the
direction of Vitalism (discussion at British Association on the
subject).
[15] _Cf._ Driesch: _Philosophy of the Organism_; _Vitalismus als
Geschichte und Lehre_; his article in _Lebensanschauung_ (a
collection of essays by twenty German thinkers, 1911); Reinke's
_Philosophie der Botanik_; McDougall's _Body and Mind_; Thomson's
_Heredity, Evolution_, and _Introduction to Science_ (the two
latter in the Home University Library). Bergson's _Creative
Evolution_ deals with the subject, but the value of this book is
greater in other directions. T.H. Morgan's _Regeneration_ is a
weighty contribution to the subject.
[16] A revival of the study of Kant's first _Critique_ would be of
great value to our natural scientists. Green, in his _Prolegomena
to Ethics_, has interpreted this aspect in a manner that ought not
to be forgotten. _Cf._ further Edward Caird's _Evolution of
Religion_, vol. i.
[17] Ward's _Naturalism and Agnosticism_, vol. i., is a reply to
this important question.
[18] _Cf._ Muensterberg's _Psychology and Education_, and his
_Eternal Values_; also Royce's _The World and the Individual_.
[19] This trans-subjective aspect has been worked out in an
original way by Volkelt in his _Quellen der menschlichen
Gewisskeit_.
[20] The works of Muensterberg and Rickert deal with great clearness
on this difference of subject-matter in science and history.
[21] The main weakness of Bergson's philosophy seems to be in not
recognising this problem. Bosanquet, in his _Principle of
Individuality and Value_, has very clearly recognised and
interpreted it upon similar lines to Eucken.
[22] In this respect Eucken and Bergson seem to agree, although it
is difficult to reconcile this aspect of Bergson's with his
statements concerning the grasping of reality in the perceptions of
the moment.
