| Summary | "Philosophy and Religion" by Hastings Rashdall is a collection of six lectures delivered at Cambridge in the early 20th century. The work explores the intricate relationships between philosophy and theology, particularly focusing on the rational foundations for personal religion, emphasizing the significance of understanding God, morality, and the nature of existence. Rashdall aims to present a thoughtful analysis that appeals to educated individuals who seek a reasoned basis for their religious beliefs, rather than merely adhering to dogma. At the start of the lectures, the author introduces the fundamental concepts of mind and matter, arguing against materialism and asserting the necessity of a divine Mind for the existence of the universe. He points out that our perception of matter is always intertwined with consciousness, proposing that it cannot exist independently of it. Rashdall emphasizes the inadequacy of materialism and outlines the importance of viewing ultimate reality as a spiritual existence, which he connects to the necessity of a universal Mind—God. The opening sets the tone for a philosophical inquiry that seeks to reconcile human understanding with divine existence and moral consciousness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
