-~~- - A Moder Analysi Continued from Page Elven hand, and motivates him to act morally on the other, then it must be said to have, at least, a func- tional worth which cannot be overlooked. Perhaps we might feel now why ±ant did not classify the Moral argument in the same manner in. which he considered the- three othet arguments for the existence of God. Although the Moral argument may indeed fail for the reasons which I have indicated, it may nevertheless have some sort of value, and this value lies in the nature of, the argument which differnetiates it from the three other arguments. The Moral argu- ment has reference to the action of the individual; it is intended to give objective validity and san- tion to morality, and, in this sense, attempts to "make men moral." The Moral argument has an ef- fect, its acceptance may make a difference in human activities and relations. Perhaps it is because this effect is to be so desired that Kant comments in the introduc- tion to the second edition of his "Critique" that he will be willing to suspend reason in order to make room for faith. Natural theology appeals to man to be rational; however, the 'rationality' of its arguments fail. Yet if an individual considers the existence of Clod as something personal to himself, his accept- ance of the assertion of that exist- ence will be based upon a faith which effects his actions and gives to him a sense of meaning- fulness, and will not be forfeited because abstract doctrines, sup-' s of.God posed to support the assertion, have been shown to be self-con- tradictory or unverifiable. If we wish to give some sort of justification forhe acceptance of the proposition that Clod exists, it seems futile to accept this on either logical or supposedly "ob- jective" grounds. It seems to me that God's existence should be dis- cussed in terms of the relation of the acceptance of the proposition to individual feelings and actions, and these, in turn, upon its ef- fects upon society. It then seems that we may investigate empirical. data of consciousness and be- havior rather than outright onto- logical notions. It is thus upon psychological a n d sociological grounds rather than upon abstract ontological notions that I feel fundamental religious beliefs may be established. Continued from Page Nine millions of their fellow citizens sit- ting by their TV sets, vicariously moan with a similar sensual pleas- ure. Their happiness would 'be complete were At not for the loneliness within them-an arti- fAcial loneliness created by the in- applicable doctrines of humanist educators. E LIBERAL education cannot be of use in this age; its injec- tion into the educational process must result in confusion and a search for values which cannot help but aggravate the personal and international tensions under which we now live. The humani- ties must, in general, be altered, perhaps eliminated, if they cannot be brought up to date. This is not to say that human- ist scholars must be put out of work. On the contrary, a limited Liberal Education amount of study in the humanities shall always be permitted, if hu- manists in the future show them- selves as well behaved as they do now. Even today a reasonable un- derstanding between these schol- ars and the secular powers has resulted in a tightening of the boundaries of university areas. Soon a stint at college, including, perhaps, a glance at the humani- ties, will be no more emotionally trying than going to the zoo.
