Author Description

1912. The chapters in this book were originally delivered as intercollegiate lectures at Westfield College, University of London, during the Michaelmas term. They arose out of the deep respect I feel for the work and personality of Professor Eucken, and from a profound sense of the importance of his teaching for philosophy, for religion, and for everyday life. Partial Contents: Eucken's Philosophical Publications; Eucken's Views on the Relation of Philosophy to History, Particularly to the History of Philosophy, Illustrated by His Own Handling of the Philosophy of Augustine-Eucken's Method; Eucken's Criticism of Naturalism; Eucken's Discussion of the Negative Movement; The Negative Movement Essential to a Religious Philosophy; The Great Alternative: Nature or Spirit, Individuality or Personality; Eucken's View of Revelation; Eucken's Theory of Knowledge; Unity and Multiplicity; and The Limitations of the Foregoing Treatment of Eucken's Philosophy.
