Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Religion in Contemporary Philosophy The last chapter is put in to rescue the book from the charge of being wholly polemical and negative in its results. There is a definite view running throughout the book conditioning the manner of approach. Indications of a positive idealism which are found scattered in the course of the book are brought together in the last chapter. There is no establishment of the system as such. This must wait for another place and occasion. The main lines are suggested by the philosophical pilgrim's progress on his voyage of discovery, where he passes from crass pre judices to metaphysical conclusions through the natural dialectic of the soul. I request those who may do me the honour of reading what I say, to remember that the book is to be taken as a whole, so that statements in one chapter might be understood as qualifying those in another. I know there is repetition here and there, which I hope will be excused, as it may serve to remind the reader of the unity of purpose.
