Excerpt from Typical Modern Conceptions of God

The, chapters which constitute the present volume, with the exception of the one on Schleiermacher, which has been written merely to round out the work, had their origin in a thesis presented to the Faculty of Cornell University some seven years ago in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

The original essays on Fichte and Hegel were published in the Philosophical Review, These have since been very much altered and greatly enlarged, and, indeed, the whole work has been rewritten.

The four men whose views are considered, viz., Fichte, Hegel, Schleiermacher, and Spencer, were chosen by the writer for a comparative study because of the typical and partially complementary character of their respective treatments of the problem of the Absolute - the problem of the metaphysical conception of God.

Fichte and Hegel represent first parallel and then diverging growths from the common root of the Kantian critiques.
