"The core of this volume is an epitome of Hermann Cohen's 'Religion der Vernunft,' presented in the concise, aphoristic style of which Dr. Kaplan is a master. At the same time, Dr. Kaplan offers comments on Cohen's argument and points out where Cohen was led astray by the limitations of his time and place."--Dust jacket.
