Excerpt from The Ethical Approach to Theism
The chief aim of the following pages is to make clear the distinction between the two chief types of religious thought, the pantheistic and the theistic; and to show on what basis in experience and reflection the latter rests. Its chief characteristic is that it finds the final Reality in the Good rather than in the Whole. Its method is selective and ideological, and it finds the answer to the problem of the universe less through an induction than through an imperative, the imperative of the Good upon the will of man. The Good is that which attracts all things, "moving them as the object of their love."
