An Interpretation of Rudolf Eucken's Philosophy
Jones, W. Tudor (William Tudor)
Eucken, Rudolf, 1846-1926
[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.
[75] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 103.
[76] _Die Lebensanschauungen der grossen Denker_, 9te Auflage,
1911, S. 504.
[77] Liebmann passed away in January 1912. He had been Eucken's
colleague in Jena for many years. Windelband designates him as "the
truest of Kantians and the Nestor of Philosophy." _Cf._ my article
on his life and work in the _Nation_ for February 3, 1912. The best
presentation in England of the Kantian philosophy and its
development is to be found in Caird's _Critical Philosophy of Kant_
and Adamson's _Development of Modern Philosophy. Cf_. also G. Dawes
Hicks's valuable articles in the _Proceedings of the Aristotelian
Society_ during the past ten years.
[78] _Analysis der Wirklichkeit_,3te Auflage, 1900, S. vii.
[79] _Cf._ Dilthey's _Erlebnis und Dichtung_; his article "Die
Typen der Weltanschauung und ihre Ausbildung in den metaphysichen
Systemen" in _Weltanschauung_; _Philosophie und Religion in
Darstellungen_, 1911 also, "Das Wesen der Philosophie" in
_Systematische Philosophie_ ("Kultur der Gegenwart").
[80] _Cf._ Eucken's _Hauptprobleme der Religionsphilosophie der
Gegenwart_, 5te Auflage, 1912, chapter iv. Also, _Erkennen und
Leben_ (1912), ss. 35-51.
