The Relations of Mind and Brain
Henry Calderwood
- Calderwood, Scottish philosopher and divine, maintained that knowledge of the infinite, though imperfect, is real and ever-increasing; that Faith implies Knowledge. His moral philosophy is in direct antagonism to Hegelian doctrine, and endeavors to substantiate the doctrine of divine sanction. Beside the data of experience, the mind has pure activity of its own whereby it apprehends the fundamental realities of life and combat.
