osophy to have pointed this out. It is a conception presented several times in the history of philosophy, but there is great need of re-emphasising it to-day, especially as things in space have gripped the soul with such power and disastrous results. [50] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 243. [51] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 200. _Cf._ also _Koennen wir noch Christen sein_? pp. 91-141. [52] _Cf._ Ward's _The Realm of Ends_, chapters ii. and xx.; also Caird's _Evolution of Religion_ has many valuable hints throughout the two volumes pointing in the same direction. [53] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 436. [54] Quoted in _The Truth of Religion_, p. 436. [55] Cf. _The Truth of Religion_, pp. 429 ff. [56] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 430. [57] This fact is very clearly interpreted by Rickert in his _Gegenstand der Erkenntnis_. [58] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 431. [59] I cannot but believe that the supposed proofs brought forward by Sir Oliver Lodge and others are so empirical as to be of very little value to religion. [60] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 533. [61] _The Truth of Religion_, pp. 367, 368. [62] _The Truth of Religion_, pp. 11, 12. [63] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 545. It is on this fact that Eucken builds his conception of immortality. Such a conception is not a matter of speculation or of scientific proof, but a matter of an experience born on the summit of the evolution of spiritual life within the soul. It is useless to attempt to press such an experience into a conceptual mould. [64] _The Truth of Religion_, pp. 550, 551. [65] Driesch is attempting the construction of such a Metaphysic of Nature, and a similar attempt is to be discovered in Bergson's philosophy, especially in its later developments. [66] Troeltsch has also emphasised this truth in his _Absolutheit des Christentums und die Religionsgeschichte_ and in his _Bedeutung der Geschichtlichkeit Jesu fuer den Glauben_. These two small volumes are of great value. [67] Cf. _Koennen wir noch Christen sein_? pp. 150 to 210; _Das Wesen der Religion; Life's Basis and Life's Ideal_, p. 332 ff.; _Christianity and the New Idealism_, chapter iv.; _The Truth of Religion_, pp. 539 to 616. [68] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 360.
