The Conception of God (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): A Philosophical Discussion Concerning the Nature of the Divine Idea as a Demonstrable Reality

This 1897 volume constitutes a rigorous debate between Royce and three other scholars:  Professor Joseph Le Conte, Professor G. H. Howison, and Professor Sidney Edward Mezes.  Royce's title essay is followed by criticisms from each professor.  Royce then responds to his critics, defending his original thesis, which derives from his idealist philosophy.
