physical conceptions and mannerisms; in the style of Fr。 v。 Schlegel; though with more geniality than the latter)

in his periodical; Le Catholique; — has furthered the cause of that primitive Catholicism generally; and in

particular has gained for the savants of the Congregation the support of the Government; so that it has even

set on foot expeditions to the East; in order to discover there treasures still concealed; (from which further

disclosures have been anticipated; respecting profound theological questions; particularly on the higher

antiquity and sources of Buddhism); and with a view to promote the interest of Catholicism by this circuitous

but scientifically interesting method。

§ 67

We owe to the interest which has occasioned these investigations; very much that is valuable; but

this investigation bears direct testimony against itself for it would seem to be awaiting the issue of

an historical demonstration of that which is presupposed by it as historically established。 That

advanced condition of the knowledge of God; and of other scientific; e。g。; astronomical

knowledge (such as has been falsely attributed to the Hindus); and the assertion that such a

condition occurred at the very beginning of History; — or that the religions of various nations were

traditionally derived from it; and have developed themselves in degeneracy and depravation (as is

represented in the rudely…conceived so…called “Emanation System;”); — all these are suppositions

which neither have; nor; — if we may contrast with their arbitrary subjective origin; the true

conception of History; — can attain historical confirmation。

which it realises itself in consciousness; will and action。 The inorganic existence of Spirit — that of

abstract Freedom — unconscious torpidity in respect to good and evil (and consequently to

laws); or; if we please to term it so; “blessed ignorance;” — is itself not a subject of History。

Natural; and at the same time religious morality; is the piety of the family。 In this social relation;

morality consists in the members behaving towards each other not as individuals … possessing an

independent will; not as persons。 The Family therefore is excluded from that process of

development in which History takes its rise。 But when this self…involved spiritual Unity steps

beyond this circle of feeling and natural love; and first attains the consciousness of personality; we

have that dark; dull centre of indifference; in which neither Nature nor Spirit is open and
