Q #4: Read the following passage carefully and
answer the questions given at the end.
Nations, the basic principle to
whose collective life is territorial, need not be afraid to Rationalism; to us
it is dangerous foe, since it aims at the very principle which gives us
communal Life, and alone makes our collective existence intelligible.
Rationalism is essentially analysis and consequently threatens to disintegrate
the communal synthesis achieved by the force to religious idée is undoubtedly
true that we can meet Rationalism on its own ground. But the point which I wish
to impress on you s that the dogma, i.e., the point of universal agreement on
which our communal solidarity depends, has essentially a national rather than intellectual
significance for us. To try to cover religion into a system to speculative
knowledge is, in my opinion, absolutely useless, and even absurd, since the
object of religion is not thinking about life; its main purpose is to build up
a coherent social whole for the gradual elevation of life.
