Excerpt from Introduction to the Genetic, Treatment of the Faith-Consciousness Consciousness in the Individual By the faith-consciousness1 is meant the conscious act and con tent of faith. The act of faith is consciousness functioning according to the demand of the faith-stimulus. Faith as act is that condition in which mental objects possess the interest and significance that make them worthy of acknowledgment, con sideration and trust. Faith as content from the psychological point of View comprises those activities and mental states result ing from the above condition over against which consciousness sets itself. Our first interest is not so much in the functioning of the faith consciousness as in the consideration of what constitutes the content and genesis of the same. We pass to that considera tion. There can be no adequate psychological study of the faith principle without raising the question of its genesis. Where in the psychic movement does there appear anything resembling that which in mature consciousness we call faith? In attempt ing to answer this question we shall seek by comparative analysis of the various functions of the primary consciousness to set in bold relief a psychic process or principle which would seem funda mentally to resemble the psychological principle of mature faith. In making this analysis we begin with the cognitive function. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
