To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Persia we find the rehgion of Zoroaster. It is an open question whether or not this is pantheism. The Egyptians worship the objects of nature, which are the symbols of God. This is hardly pantheism, for we can not identify nature with God. The Greeks were monotheists as well as polytheists. The popular religion was polytheism, which is a corruption of monotheism. J^ut pantheism always runs along with poly- theisni. Pure pantheism never exists among the popular religions of the world; hence i...t is not found in Egypt or Persia. It is, however, found in India and in Greece because ther(> philosophy flourished. Pantheism never exists without having a connection with philosoj)hy. Parmenides and Heraclitus were the pantheists of Greece. Parmenides held tliat all multiplicity is due to the senses; all real existence is one. The true first principle is the self conscious idea. Parmenides 'saw through a glass darkly. ' Heraclitus called the universe a process of incessant change. Nothing is, everything is becoming.
