Abstract

A Footnote on Religion
Niebuhr, Reinhold | September 26, 1934 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "A Common Faith," by John Dewey. This little volume, embodying the Terry Lectures of Yale University on science and religion, is something of a footnote on religion added by America's leading philosopher to his life work in philosophy. In as much as Dewey's empiricism and naturalism are in more obvious conflict with the presuppositions of the historic religions than the older idealism, this footnote has long been awaited with interest. His present volume is disappointing only in the sense that it is too brief to do full justice to the problem or allow the author scope in elaborating his thesis on religion.
