] the latter. He assumes as possible a theoretical knowledge of things-in-themselves, and even believes that there are to be found in the Kantian philosophy itself weighty reasons which may serve to support this meta-physical doctrine. None the less, Weber's activity as author is of some importance, in that he, as Roman Catholic professor at Dillingen, denied among Catholics that there was danger in Kant's teaching, and endeavored to diffuse the knowledge of it, though in modified form. It is from this point of view that no. 889 must also be considered: otherwise it is hopelessly insignificant, and quite inadequate in its historical notes upon the literature and history of the Kantian philosophy.)

891) Bardili, Chp. Gf.: Giebt es für die wichtigsten Lehren der theoretischen sowohl, als der praktischen Philosophie, ungeachtet aller Widersprüche der Weltweisen, doch noch gewisse allgemein brauchbare Kennzeichen der Wahrheit? Eine Rede. 8vo. Stuttgart. Cotta, in commission, pp. 29. (Bardili endeavors to prove from a particular example,—that of the history of the concept of God and of belief in God,—that human nature has produced, as it were by instinct, certain basal ideas, which appear to it to be infallible, and which exercise an influence upon the character of mankind; and has preserved them in all nations and throughout all ages. The result purports to be a confirmation of the R. V. and ''Pr. V.; but in reality Bardili is generalizing the proof of the existence of God ex communi consensu gentium'', in a manner as unjustifiable as is this proof of God's existence itself.)
