Abstract

Reviews religious consciousness of our own" (p. 31). On the other hand there is a ''universal similarity ... between fundamental human ex­ periences" (p. 62) and "mankind is truly one in its quest for mean­ ing" (p. 119). "Scientific communication was stifled because ofthe positivistic prejudice that equated objectivity with objectification and therefore concealed the fact that. .. subjectivity is primarily not a hindrance, but a necessary condition for research and understand­ ing" (p. 4). This understanding "gains its own structure in and by man's encounter with reality" (p. 5). Therefore "theory should neither be developed prior [to] nor merely after the presentation of relevant data, but with them'' (p. 13), and the' 'interrelating process continues in a permanent and mutually limiting oscillation" (p. 31). In all this we detect considerable similarity toT. F. Torrance's explorations of the philosophy of theology as a science which has close analogies with the methodology of the most advanced natural sciences as against the lingering archaisms in many of the human sciences. If only the Torrances and Duprt!s could present their mind-reshuffiing works for those of us who must run as we read! But here at least it might be necessary and worthwhile
