To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The believer in the " identity" doctrine, even if he should think himself justified in maintaining that there is a Universal Mind which thinks and puts forth voli- tions, must at the same time hold that these volitions, so far from determining the order of natural phenomena, are simply the uniform parallel accompaniments of that order ; and the term Will or Volition, whether applied to man or to God, becomes utterly meaningless if every subjective state, human or divine, is simply the invari- a...ble concomitant of a series of physical events, the neces- sary laws of which are eternally inherent in the ultimate constitution of the cosmos. It is only, I believe, by treating "concomitance" as if it were the same thing as " cause, " that Prof. Eomanes succeeds in giving a Theistic appearance to this "double-aspect" philosophy of the universe. But not only does this doctrine utterly preclude the V. CULTURE AND RELIGIOUS BELIEF. 181 possibility of ascribing to the Eternal Spirit any causal or volitional control over the physical order of the cosmos, but it also inevitably tends to fix the attention on the material aspects of the world as furnishing the only intelligible rationale of the sequence of phenomena.
