RATIONALISM AND THE IDEA 



OF GOD 



*Du gleichst dem Gcist, den du begreifst.' 



GoiTHI. 



* Nowadays, matters of national defence, of politics, of religion, 

 are still too important for knowledge, and remain subjects for 

 certitude ; that is to say, in them we still prefer the comfort of 

 instinctive belief because we have not learnt adequately to value 

 the capacity to foretell.' — W. Trottir.
