Of uncertain worth, especially of uncertain recoil, are the labors of reason in behalf of any of our weightier human interests. Be right instinct has religion from the beginning looked elsewhere for the brunt of support and defense say to revelsr tion, to faith, to feeling. A bad defense is a betrayal and what human philosophy of religion can be better than a bad defense Present-day philosophy seems notably inclined to take this view of itself. Is it not Bradley, elder metaphysician to our time, who jots down that metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe on instinct? Reason is not incapable of recognizing and confessing its own limits it may even take pride in expounding them, an attitude which since Hume and Kant has become more or less fashionable. Our current science of rehgion may now assume without too much discussion that the grounds of religion are super-rational, or subrational and we find philosophy undertaking to define what these other than rational grounds are grounds moral perhaps, or psychological, or socid, or historical grounds pragmatic, or even mystic. Various and variously combined as are these several philosophic trends, they agree in accepting the judgment that religion ties close to the primitive moving forces of life deeper, then, than reason or any work of reason. or04 54.
