Lectures on the Early History of Institutions
The Christian religion and its moral influence, examined as a force reshaping ancient legal systems.
Christianity has certainly had considerable negative influence over them.
I will take this opportunity of saying that the influence of Christianity on a much more famous system than the Brehon law has always seemed to me to be greatly overstated by M.
Before I close this chapter it is necessary to state that the Brehon law has not been unaffected by the two main influences which have made the modern law of Western Europe different from the ancient, Christian morality and Roman jurisprudence.
The Communist Manifesto
Christianity cited as a historical example of a new ideology overcoming old ones, itself later overcome by rationalism.
When the ancient world was in its last throes, the ancient religions were overcome by Christianity.
History of Modern Philosophy from Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time
The religious tradition whose medieval form dominated the scholastic era and whose transcendence was challenged by modern philosophy.
we find, instead of the aesthetic views of antiquity and the purely scientific tendency of the modern era, a distinctively religious spirit.
The indifference and hostility to the Church which have been cited among the prominent characteristics of modern philosophy, do not necessarily mean enmity to the Christian religion, much less to religion in general.
The aesthetic view of the world held by the Greeks, the transcendental-religious view of Christianity, the intellectual view of Leibnitz and Hegel, the panthelistic views of Fichte I and Schopenhauer are vital forces, not doctrines, postulates, not results of thought.
De Pallio
The Christian faith, described as a divine sect and superior philosophy that now claims the cloak.
But I now confer upon it the fellowship even of a divine sect and discipline.
