Chapters which constitute the present volume, with the exception of the one on Schleier macher, which has been written merely to round out the work, had their origin in a thesis presented to the Faculty of Cornell University some seven years ago in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The original essays on Fichte and Hegel were published in the Philosophical Review. These have since been very much altered and greatly enlarged, and, indeed, the whole work has been rewritten. The four men whose views are considered, viz., Fichte, Hegel, Schleiermacher, and Spencer, were chosen by the writer for a comparative study be cause oi the typical and partially complementary character of their respective treatments of the problem of the Absolute - the problem of the metaphysical conception of God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typical Modern Conceptions of God: A Thesis The last statement, taken by itself, might con vey the impression that the finite individuali and the absolute I are the same. But it is abundantly evident from a consideration of the Science of Knowledge, the Science of Rights, and the System of Ethics that the absolute I is the impersonal and universal Intelligence which is immanent in and gives reality to the entire activity of the finite I 's in all their relations, active and passive. More over, this universal I is ceaseless activity, actus purus, absolute rational will. It is the only reality, for the sense-world has no reality in itself. Fichte's system is not solipsistic, but acosmistic. The idea of the absolute I is, when viewed from the practical standpoint, the idea of God.3, The pure] is posited outside ourselves, and called God.

Download or read book The Problem of God Yesterday and Today written by John Courtney Murray and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an urbane and persuasive tract for our time, the distinguished Catholic theologian combines a comprehensive metaphysics with a sensitivity to contemporary existentialist thought. Father Murray traces the “problem of God” from its origins in the Old Testament, through its development in the Christian Fathers and the definitive statement by Aquinas, to its denial by modern materialism. Students and nonspecialist intellectuals may both benefit by the book, which illuminates the problem of development of doctrine that is now, even more than in the days of Newman, a fundamental issue between Roman Catholic and Protestant, theologians and nonspecialst intellectuals alike will find the subject of vital interest. As a challenge to the ecumenical dialogue, the question is raised whether, in the course of its development through different phases, the problem of God has come back to its original position. Father Murray is Ordinary professor of theology at Woodstock College, Woodstock, Maryland. St. Thomas More Lectures, 1. "A gem of a book—lucid, illuminating, brilliantly written. A fine contribution to the current Catholic theological renaissance."—Paul Weiss.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Do We Need: A New Idea of God? That there is need for a reinterpretation of life and a restatement of religious faith in the light of demo cratic outreach and impulse would seem unquestion able. There is a whole world of difference between the philosophy and world-view of the ages that gave us the historic creeds of Christendom and the philo sophy and world-view of the present day. We live, indeed, in an entirely new world of thought; science has reconstructed the story of creation and written it anew in the language of the most thrilling romance, and democratic triumphs have gone far toward revolutionizing the social aims and conceptions of the world's politics. And yet in spite of these facts conventional religious teachers for the most part persist in proclaiming their message in the language and thought-forms of the early and darker ages, with the result that instead of interpreting life in a way that gives men courage and enthusiasm to face its responsibilities, the teaching of religion more often serves to confuse their thoughts, muddle their minds, and dissociate their common activity from the great life struggle of the universe. If religion is to remain a vital force in the lives ofmen, some sort of A restatement of its leading ideas in the terms of democratic outreach and in harmony with the modern wor d-view is imperative, and any such restatement that does not show a vital relation between every man's heart throbs and the master struggle that has brought him to manhood must be pronounced inadequate. Both within and Without the churches there is a growing dissatisfaction with conventional forms of credal belief and a consequent lack of reality in the forms of worship which depend upon them. Not only do many people not find spiritual inspiration, help, and vision in religious forms and services intended to promote these ends, but there are not a few who find themselves in a state of open revolt against what to them are the insincerities which a conventional worship forces upon them, - that many of these are people of true earnestness and passionate moral enthusiasm does but serve to make more serious the problem. That of the great number who own a nominal allegiance to their faith there are all too many who are insincere in the utterance of the beliefs which the creeds force upon them and repeat the most definite words Aof belief with all sorts of mental reservations is a most serious problem for the churches of Christendom to-day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of God: Historical, Critical Constructive We do not arbitrarily go in search of our theme as if it were a matter of caprice to select this instead of some other equally indifferent subject. Vast fundamental changes in every branch of science - in physics, biology, history and psychology, the powerful impact of present day systems of thought, as Radical Empiricism and the New Realism, and not least the clothing of this idea in appealing literary form, free from every dogmatic fetter, - all of these present fresh problems and make impera tive a re-interpretation of the meaning of God in human experience. This work aims at such a presentation of the idea of God as will enable it to function anew in the life of to-day.

Book excerpt: A brilliant account of religion's role in the political thinking of the West, from the Enlightenment to the close of World War II.The wish to bring political life under God's authority is nothing new, and it's clear that today religious passions are again driving world politics, confounding expectations of a secular future.

Illuminating and challenging, The Stillborn God is a watershed in the history of ideas.
