Theosophy or Psychological Religion

  • Friedrich Max Müller
1888 to 1892
University of Glasgow

In his final course of Gifford Lectures, delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1892, F. Max Müller concentrates on the essential unity or oneness of the objective Infinite in nature (God) and the subjective Infinite in man (soul), which is the final consummation of all religious and philosophical endeavours. Much time is spent discussing the relation of the soul to Brahman in the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta, and of similar strains in the Sufi branch of Islam.

The Religious Teachers of Greece

  • James Adam
1904 to 1906
University of Aberdeen

The Religious Teachers of Greece traces the development of the religious tradition of ancient Greece from Homer to Plato. Adam is particularly concerned with the tensions between poets and philosophers in the progress of religious ideas at that time.
