     [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.

     [69] Das Wesen der Religion, S. 16.

     [70] The closing sections of The Truth of Religion. A similar
     aspect is presented in the final chapter of Koennen wir noch
     Christen sein?

[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.

     [72] Cf. Der Kampf um einen geistigen Lebensinhalt, S. 98 ff.

[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.
