628 THE SPECIAL PHILOSOPHICAL SCIENCES. is represented, on the one hand, by the Ritschlian school — • W. Herrmann in Marburg {Die Metaphysik in dcr Tkcologie, ^y6, Die Religion im Verhdltniss sum Welterkennemind zur Sittlichkeit, 1889), J. Kaftan in Berlin {Das Wesen der Christ lichen Religion, 1881) — and, on the other, by R. A. Lipsius in Jena (born 1830; Dogmatik, 1876, 2d ed., 1879; Philosophie nnd Religion, 1885). The latter is represented by A. E. Biedermann of Zurich (1819-85 ; Christliche Dogmatik, 1868; 2d ed., 1884-85), a pupil of W. Vatke, and by Otto Pfleiderer of Berlin (born 1839; Religi'onsphilosophie, 1879; 2d ed., 1883^4). The neo-Kantians base religion exclu- sively on the practical side of human nature, especially on the moral law, derive it from the contrast between external dependence on nature and the inner freedom or super- natural destination of the spirit, and wish it preserved fron all intermixture with metaphysics. According to the nco- Hegelians, on the contrary, the theoretical element in religion is no less essential ; and is capable of being purified, of being elevated from the form of representation, which is full of contradictions, into the adequate form of pure thought, capable, therefore, of reconciliation with philos- ophy. Hugo Delff {Ueber den Weg zum Wissen und siir Gewissheit su gelangen, 1 882 ; Die Hauptprohleme der Phil- osophie und Religion, 1886) follows Jacobi's course.
