SOCIAL LAW IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD
Studies In Human and Divine Inter-Relationship
BY
RUFUS M. JONES, A.M., LITT. D.
_Professor of Philosophy in Haverford College, Pa._
This is a fresh interpretation of the deepest problems of life.
It discusses the most interesting phases of recent psychological
investigation into spiritual subjects.
“Professor Jones offers here a series of studies on the nature and
meaning of Personality. He is at home in modern psychology and tells
it effectively for his purpose in freedom from technicalities.”--_The
Outlook._
“The author has written the twelve chapters of this book dealing
with such subjects as The Meaning of Personality, The Realization of
Persons, The Sub-Conscious Life, The Inner Light, etc., etc., with an
aim to show through Psychology, as Drummond showed through Biology,
that life can be unified from top to bottom.”--_Christian Work and the
Evangelist._
“The author bears a unique equipment for the task, having studied
Philosophy at Harvard under Royce and Palmer, and acquired the art of
presenting it to untrained thinkers in his capacity of Professor of
Philosophy at Haverford College.”--_British Friend._
_12mo. 272 pages. Extra Vellum Cloth, Gilt Top, Uncut Edges. Price

FOOTNOTES:
[1] “Social Law in the Spiritual World,” Philadelphia, 1904.
[2] The term _a tergo_ causation means that what happens is produced
entirely by the push or the pull of forces. There is an exact
equation--the antecedent _determines_ the consequent.
[3] It is not true, of course, that there is an absolute “break” in the
upward processes of life. Even in the lower forms of life there are
hints of higher possibilities. There is an elemental struggle for the
life of others which has in it the potentiality of love and sacrifice.
But there is no “sign” on the lower levels--before self-consciousness
dawned--of any capacity for an ideal, or of _any power to develop by
the forecast and vision of the goal_.
[4] The term _a fronte_ compulsion means the compelling power of an
ideal which influences by an attraction from in front.
