The Structure of Religious Experience.

by John Macmurray

Macmurray was perhaps the first major British philosopher to be influenced by Marx, or even to read him at all ... He tells how this happened in the autobiographical section of his Swarthmore Lecture The Search for Reality in Religion (1965). It is a record of his search for reality in religion, and since his life has been spent in teaching and studying philosophy, the search has been more than an attempt to satisfy an intellectual curiosity.

“ therefore, must be a universal
person to whom the self stands in universal relation. The idea of God as the universal Other is, therefore, inherent in the act of religious reflection. It is given in the act of reflection itself, which starts from the actual fact of personal relationship. The universal cannot be denied, since to deny it would be to forbid the act of reflection, while it is only through the act of reflection that the denial is possible. ״
