	The merely pleasant, why not good, 403. Pleasure by itself not good, 404-407. Good is not the satisfied will, but is in general the approved, 407, 408. How far is it "desirable"? 408, 409. Goodness is a one-sided inconsistent aspect of perfection, 409, 410. The Absolute both is and is not good, 411, 412. Goodness, more specially, as Self-realization, 412, 413. Its double aspect as Self-sacrifice and Self-assertion, 414. What these are, 415-418. They come together but are transcended in the Absolute, 419. But popular Ethics asserts each as ultimate, and hence necessarily fails, 420-429. Relativity of Goodness, 429, 430. Goodness as inner Morality, 431, 432. Is inconsistent and ends in nothing or in evil, 432-436. The demands of Morality carry it beyond itself into Religion, 436-438. What this is, and how it promises satisfaction, 439-442. It proves inconsistent, and is an appearance which passes beyond itself, 442-448; but it is no illusion, 448-450. The practical problem as to religious truth, 450-453. Religion and Philosophy, 453, 454.
XXVI.	THE ABSOLUTE AND ITS APPEARANCES.	455-510
	Object of this Chapter, 455-457. The chief modes of Experience; they all are relative, 458. Pleasure, Feeling, the Theoretical, the Practical, and the Aesthetic attitude are each but appearance, 458-466. And each implies the rest, 466-468. But the Unity is not known in detail. Final inexplicabilities, 468-470. The universe cannot be reduced to Thought and Will, 469. This shown at length, 470-482. The universe how far intelligible, 482, 483. The primacy of Will a delusion, 483-485. Appearance, meaning of the term, 485, 486. Appearances and the Absolute, 486-489. Nature, is it beautiful and adorable? 490-495. Ends in Nature—a question not for Metaphysics, 496, 497. Philosophy of Nature what, 496 499. Progress, is there any in the Absolute, 499-501; or any life after death, 501-510?
XXVII.	ULTIMATE DOUBTS	511-522
	Is our conclusion merely possible? 512. Preliminary statement as to possibility and doubt. These must rest on positive knowledge, 512-518. This applied to our Absolute. It is one, 518-522. It is experience, 522-526. But it does not (properly speaking) consist of souls, 526-530; nor is it (properly)
