Of the works by Franz Brentano (1838-1917) which have appeared in
thus far, perhaps none is better suited to convey a clear idea of
the English spirit of the man that this volume of his lectures on
proving the existence of God. In order to understand his
metaphysics, it would he better to read The Theory of Categories;
in order to master the finer points of his psychology, it would be
better to read Psychology From an Empirical Standpoint; in order to
appreciate his ethical theory, it would be better to read The
Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong or, for a more thorough
treatment, The Foundation and Construction of Ethics. But in order
to see what it was that gave Brentano the enthusiasm and dedication
to do all that work and much more besides, it is necessary to find
out what Brentano believed the philosophical enterprise itself to
be; and this comes forth most vividly when he bends his
philosophical efforts to the subject he considered most important
of all, namely, natural theology. For, like Socrates, Brentano
brought a kind of religious fervor to his philosophy precisely
because he saw it as dealing much better than religion does with
the matters that are closest to our hearts.
