ABSTRACT

First published in 1926, Personality and Reality is the analysis of the place and function of mind and God. The author argues that the conception of a supreme Self is required for the interpretation of the Universe, just like the requirement of the system of space and time; and that both conceptions are established by necessities. This book will be of interest to students of philosophy, religion, literature and science.
