General statement of the scope of the inquiry

Three final existences assumed

(i) 'Self'.

(ii) The world'

(iii) 'God'

The reality of these existences cannot be es-

tablished by argument

Each brings its own difficulties
i. Difficulties as to the conception of self'

(a) Origin
(6) Growth. Dependence. Influence of medium :

of mechanical inventions; of intellectual

conceptions
(c) Independence. “Freedom'
(d) Complex nature of the individual

struggles: failure

(e) Sternness of Nature'. Yet man asserts

himself

(f) looking to the future in spite of difficulties

These are facts

ii. Difficulties as to the conception of the world'

(a) The mystery involved in our belief in the

external world: the relation between

our impressions and that which excites

them
