The acknowledgment of this fact is religiousness; the contrary of it is irreligiousness and anthropomorphistic arrogance, even if it appears in the name of religiousness. A comparison of the two philosophers is interesting. In one direction, Lange does more justice to the religious need than Spencer does.
Are not the reasons on account of which the so-called anthropomorphism is to be rejected, often enough just as anthropomorphistic as the ideas which are attacked? For instance, when the idea of the personality of God is attacked as an anthropomorphistic one, are not the reasons with which it is assailed exactly as anthropomorphistic as the conceptions which are to be assailed?
The one, as well as the other, is anthropomorphistic, and is an undoubtedly necessary form of our human reasoning. Compare, in reference to this whole question, also the clear analyses in the second volume of the work of Wigand, and the instructive lecture of the Duke of Argyll upon anthropomorphism in theology.
