Without at all refusing to man the power of passing by intuition beyond the 6 82 OXFORD AT THE CROSS ROADS limits of the knowledge of experience, we may, I think, recognize that there are for us but two kinds of science, the science of nature and the science of man; all beyond this may be felt, perceived, revealed, but cannot be tested. The greatest problem of this age is neither God nor nature, but man. And the real knowledge of humanity lies in historic and philologic science. The old psychol...ogy which dealt with the individual as isolated had a task which was doubtless useful and led to solid results ; but our age has rightly seen that beyond the individual there is the species, which has its history, its laws, its science. . . . History, I mean the history of the human spirit, is in this sense the true philosophy of our time. Every question of our age necessarily ends in historic dis- cussion, every statement of principles becomes a historic account. The position of each of us is determined by historic views." ^ That such is the intellectual tendency of our time is written large in many books for all who will to read.
