These late writings by the great Nineteenth French Philosopher Félix Raviasson are not only crucial for understanding his unique theoretical trajectory, but remain extremely illuminating in relation to the history of religion, the meaning of the Bible and the history of Western thought. Above all they tend to show that the questions posed by philosophy cannot be separated from the historical reality of religion.
