[57] This fact is very
clearly interpreted by Rickert in his
Gegenstand der Erkenntnis.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[71] Cf. J.S. Mackenzie’s Outlines of Metaphysics on the various constructions of the Universe and of Life. The whole volume is of the greatest value. Cf. also A.E. Taylor’s illuminating volume, Elements of Metaphysics.

[73] Cf. Wicksteed’s remarkable address The Religion of Time and the Religion of Eternity, already referred to. There are some striking similarities between Eucken and Wicksteed, who have, however, worked each quite independently of one another.
[74] Men of science
themselves feel this, and are conscious of the
one-sidedness of the
results of the scientific side of materialism.
