i. There is kinship between religion and philosophy.
Example from Spinoza's third kind of cognition.
Its unquestionable coincidence in content with
the self-recognition which we have observed as
emerging through finite life 		21
ii. But the religious consciousness is coextensive in
substance with finite self-consciousness, and
possibly wider. It is merely the structure of
the finite when inspired with a high intensity in
its functioning, i.e. when in its inevitable self-
transcendence the finite displays high devoutness
to its good 		25
5. Conclusion; a passage of Spinoza cited to emphasise the
universality and self-dependent strength of the true
religious experience as contrasted with opinions which
are founded on a misconceived tradition 		28

i. "Personal Feeling " in the bad sense, as negative 40
