If the empirical and histori- cal methods are the only paths to knowledge, then that wisdom which by nature is proper to every man, and is augmented and extended in the practice of life, loses all its value, and there arises between the schools and society a continually greater divergence and ever increasing op- position. For however science, with her inquiries and results, may serve, lead, and promote life, this life always and everywhere precedes science ; it did not originate in science, and... cannot wait for it. Family and society, work and vocation, agriculture and cattle-rearing, trade and industry, morality, justice, and art, have all an independ- ent source and sustain their own character. The whole complete life, which reveals itself in all these domains and activities, can gratefully make use of the light which science kindles, but it flows from its own proper source and streams onward in its own channel. For both life and science it is, therefore, of the highest importance that the empirical knowledge, which is obtained in life, and the scientific knowledge, which is striven after in the schools, should support and strengthen one another; the wisdom of life is the starting-point and the foundation of all science, and the researches of the learned should not REVELATION AND RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE 225 aim at extinguishing this knowledge of practical experi- ence, but at purifying and augmenting it.
