Of the problems it presents make its treatment by a philosophical method far from simple, for in the systematic study of the religious life we are not dealing with forces which are constant and invariable like those, for instance, dealt with in physics. We are dealing, rather, with phases of life as they manifest themselves in those variables named human belief, emotion and will. In other words, we deal with life on the plane Of the personal. This makes a philosophy Of religion particularly difficult. It also makes it all the more important that we develop a proper method, a method which will recog nize constantly that when we deal with religion we are dealing with personal life, and with a great factor in human history which has always stood in the closest relation to the practical concerns of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
