The British Quarterly Review (Volume 80) (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884.

The interest is in the artificial sentiment which olisiructs the course of their true love, and in the evolution of the thought and feeling which subdues the artificial Amazon into a natural loving woman. It is a delineation of inner life by the hand of a master. It belongs to the school of Corinne, but is healthier and nobler, and in its thought and style fully equal to Madame de Siiiel's famous work. We do not wonder at the European recognition of its great merits. THEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, AND PHILOLOGY. Modern Theories in Philosophy and Religion. By John Tulloch, D.D., LL.D. Blackwood and Sons. Principal Tulloch has done well in collecting and republisbing these essays. In form they are reviews, but in fact most of them are controversial writings, directed against those theories which would resolve the spiritual elements of life and thought into a sublimated essence of their material elements. In the first pige of his preface he strikes this keynote by asking, 'Is there a spiritual world? Is there a metaphysical as well as a physical basis of life?' This identification of the metaphysical with the spiritual will be objected to by persons of opposite opinions; by religious believers who wish to keep their religion safe from what they think the dangerous contact of metaphysics, and by advocates of naturalistic views who have no objection to admit the existence of a spiritual world provided that the spiritual is regarded as only one aspect of the natural. Nevertheless we think tl.i; identification sound, when rightly understood. We cannot get rid of metaphysics. As truly as the first step was taken in positive, or what is more truly called inductive, science, when our anc...
