Abstract

Josiah Royce saw no separation between his idealistic philosophy and his Protestant, Christian religion, so his reader in this book today learns Royce’s distinctive philosophical doctrines of interpretation, loyalty, evil and error, selfhood and community in a context in which he discusses Job, salvation, the Spirit, religious insight, love, Paul’s epistles and atonement. Here are almost 300 pages of selections from four of Royce’s books well-chosen to fulfill the aim of learning Royce’s philosophy of religious thought.
