Reflections on Life and Religion

First published in 1952, Reflections on Life and Religion is a collection of selected entries made by Sir James Baillie from 1893 to his death. These entries, preserved as MS. Volumes labeled 'Privatissima', are a record of the inner mind of a thinker of wide culture who enjoyed extensive contacts with public affairs as well as with worlds of philosophy and education.The book is divided into three main sections dealing with religion; ethical and social philosophy; and metaphysics and theory of knowledge. Each of these sections is further divided into several shorter subsections, in accordance with the requirements of the subject area. The appendix contains a number of short entries which could not find a suitable place in the main body of the text.This volume will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in religion, philosophy, and particularly metaphysics.
