Abstract

In a book on “The Logic of Religion” published in 1965 I formulated my views on what I called “the religious hypothesis” (RH). What I mean by that utterance is, by the way, different from what James means by it, as it does not denote in my text the same as “religious faith”. In the present paper I shall briefly restate what was said in my book concerning that theory and then formulate and discuss doubts I have and new insights I believe to have had since that time.
