Excerpt from Outlines of the Philosophy of Religion: Dictated Portions of the Lectures of Hermann Lotze

This translation of Lotze's 'Outlines of the Philosophy of Religion' is made from the German of the second edition, for the revision of which, as well as for that of the first German edition, Professor Rehnisch of Gottingen is responsible. In preference to the first edition, the second was selected, because it seems to be at once more compact (if that were possible) and more comprehensive. It is composed of the dictated portions of the Lectures given in the Summer-Semester of 1875 and the Winter-Semester of 1878-79. The first eight chapters belong to the earlier date; and, in fact, the course of 1875 closed with them. It was not until the year 1878 that Lotze added to this course the instruction on Religion and Morality (Chapter IX.) and on Dogmas and Confessions (Chapter X.).

In choosing this volume for the second place in the series of translations of these Outlines, I have been guided to a considerable extent by my own convenience as a teacher.
