[86] Art and religion have doubtless their important parts in embodying
values, or in adding the consciousness of membership in a larger union
of spirits, or of relation to a cosmic order conceived as ethical, but
the limits of our discussion do not permit treatment of these factors.
[87] Cf. my paper, "Goodness, Cognition, and Beauty," _Journal of
Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Methods_, Vol. IX, p. 253.
[88] Cf. Thorndike, _The Original Nature of Man_; S. Freud, _Die
Traumdeutung_, _Psychopathologie des Alltagsleben_, etc.; McDougall,
_Social Psychology_.
[89] _The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Methods_,
Vol. IX, p. 256.
[90] Cf. Plato, _Republic_, IX, 571, 572, for an explicit anticipation
of Freud.
[91] This "new psychology" is not so very new.
[92] Cf. Hocking, _The Meaning of God in Human Experience_, for the most
recent of these somnambulisms. But any idealistic system will do, from
Plato to Bradley.
[93] Cf. James, _The Varieties of Religious Experience_.
[94] Cf. Jane Harrison, _Ancient Art and Ritual_.
[95] Cf. my paper, "Is Belief Essential in Religion?", _International
Journal of Ethics_, October, 1910.
[96] "Metaphysics," _Book Lambda_.
[97] This is accomplished usually by ignoring the differentia of the
term of religion, and using it simply as an adjective of eulogy, as in
the common practice the term "Christian" is made coextensive with the
denotation of "good," or "social." For example, a "Christian gentleman"
can differ in no discernible way from a gentleman not so qualified save
by believing in certain theological propositions. But in usage, the
adjective is simply tautologous. Compare R. B. Perry, _The Moral
Economy_; E. S. Ames, _The Psychology of Religious Experience_; J. H.
Leuba, _A Psychological Study of Religion_; H. M. Kallen, _Is Belief
Essential in Religion?_
[98] The condition of England and Germany in the present civil war in
Europe echoes this situation.
[99] Cf. _Republic_, Books V and VI.
[100] Cf. _Winds of Doctrine_ and _Reason in Common Sense_.
