1916. As the reader will quickly see, this is not primarily a book on philosophy, but a book on religion. Otherwise the writing of it should have been left to a philosopher, and that the author does not pretend to be. The ground covered lies between the two subjects (or, rather, overlaps both) and might therefore be open to occupancy by students of either subject. If Bergson's doctrine be completely accepted, what results for religion? The reader will soon discover the author sympathizes with the teaching of Bergson at many points, both on philosophical and religious grounds, but there are also elements of his system which Miller finds hard to accept. Contents: preliminary observations; Bergson the Protestant; how do we know reality? creative evolution;intuition and the primacy of spirit; individual freedom; immortality.
