DR. MARTINEAU'S PHILOSOPHY.
Dr. Martineau's Philosophy. By Charles B. Upton. (James Nisbet and Co. 7s. 6d.)—Professor Upton has taken advantage of the demand for a second edition of his well-known treatise, published in 1902, to set forth the bearing of Dr. Martineau's thought on the more prominent recent forms of the philosophy of religion. This he does in an introductory essay in which he covers nearly the whole field of modern metaphysics, especially the later developments of Hegelianism in so far as these have a bearing on the "fundamentals" of Martinean's philosophy. Professor Upton also sets himself with great pains to point out "how deeply Martinean's thought in its essential features accords with and supports that form of the philosophy of religion which is now obtaining acceptance all over cultured Christendom; the phil. olsophy, I mean, which represents religious faith and doctrine as
based ultimately on the direct experience of God's self-manifesta- tion in maies higher life, and on the recognition of Christ as the supreme example and revealer of the Immanence of God in humanity." As now strengthened and added to, Professor Upton's volume is the most valuable exposition of " kfartineauism" for the use of students of metaphysics that has appeared.
