Excerpt from Kant, Lotze, and Ritschl a Critical ExaminationThe questions may be asked: What has this controversy to do with us in Britain? And how do Kant and Lotze come to be introduced into it?Among the answers that might be given to the first ques tion are these: First, that in these days no nation can isolate itself, least of all can a nation like ours, between which and Germany intercourse and ties become closer every year, isolate itself. What Germany thinks to-day, Britain will begin to think to-morrow. The reverse is, of course, also true. We have given perhaps quite as many original impulses to the thought of the world as our Teutonic relatives across the German Ocean. Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Herbert Spencer, and Darwin have been, in their way, as potent factors in the intel lectual life of Europe as Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Herbart, Lotze, and others in Germany, not to mention France and the rest of Europe, though, for various reasons, - chief among which, I believe, is the fact that the two great English universities were for nearly two centuries close corporations, and therefore not only impoverished the life of the excluded part of the nation, but, as all such corporations are apt to do, themselves stag nated, - we, for a long time, fell behind in nearly every branch of theology, as well as in most other departments of learning.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
