[81] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 574. Many hints in this and other respects may be found in W.R. Boyce Gibson's valuable work, _Rudolf Eucken's Philosophy of Life_(3rd edition, 1912). [82] _The Truth of Religion_, p. 71. [83] "Gesammelte Aufsaetze": _Die Bedeutung der kleiner Nationen_, pp. 47-52. [84] This truth is pointed out most forcibly by L.P. Jacks in his _Alchemy of Thought_, chap. i. [85] Eucken visited England for the first time during Whitsun-week 1911. He had been invited by the Committee of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association to deliver in London the _Essex Hall Lecture_ for the year. A large audience gathered together to see and hear him, and he received a most cordial reception. He spoke in German on _Religion and Life_, and the lecture has since appeared in English. The Rev. Charles Hargrove, M.A., of Leeds (President of the Association) presided over the meeting, and spoke of the great importance of Eucken's growing influence. Interesting addresses were also delivered by Dr J. Estlin Carpenter, Principal of Manchester College, Oxford; and Dr P.T. Forsyth, Principal of Hackney College. At the luncheon which followed, Professor Westermarck, Dr R.F. Horton, and others spoke. The lecture was repeated at Manchester College, Oxford, during the same week. On Whitsunday Eucken preached in the evening at Unity Church, Islington, London, N., at the invitation of the writer of this volume. In September 1912 Eucken sailed for the United States of America to deliver a course of lectures at Harvard University covering a period of six months. In both countries he was greeted by a large number of his old pupils, many of whom travelled long distances to see and hear him once more. [86] Eucken follows Kant in the fact that after the union of subject and object has taken place a _new kind of objectivity_ has to be taken into account. This result has to be admitted before knowledge becomes possible at all. Eucken has not dealt in a thorough manner with this problem, although several hints are given concerning the importance of this transcendental aspect in Kant's philosophy. The implications of such a _new_ kind of objectivity avoid the danger of subjectivism, on the one hand, and of empiricism on the other hand. Eucken's forthcoming _Theory of Knowledge_ will deal with this important matter. In _Erkennen und Leben_ certain aspects of the problem are touched. [87] The volume was translated into English and published in the United States of America by Stuart Phelps in 1880. I am not aware that the work exercised any great influence at the time either in England or America. Eucken's "day" had not then dawned. * * * * * INDEX OF NAMES Adamson, R. Adickes. Aristotle.
