A translation of eleven of the chapters of Die Protestantische Theologie im 19. Jahrhundert. Omits chapters on the minor Protestant theologians of the 19th century who are far more representative of Protestant thought than some of the more famous ones included. Also omitted are the chapters on theology and on Protestant theology in the 18th century. Enough, though, is left to make this a very stimulating book. Barth is usually entertaining and at times, brilliant.--K. H.

Beginning with a discussion of the necessity of faith in reason, these Carus Lectures call attention to the fact that philosophy possesses a "reflexive" and a "non-reflexive subject-matter."

The author then goes on the develop his theory of "Dialectical Pluralism," grounding his argument mainly on a critical examination of Descartes, Berkeley, Kant, Leibniz, and Hegel.--K. H.
