Mystical Element of Religion, Vol 2

Baron Friedrich von Huegel was an influential Roman Catholic lay philosopher and writer. He was born in Florence, Italy, in 1852 and moved fifteen years later with his family to England where he remained for the rest of his life. He never held an academic post nor did he ever earn a university degree. However, he is often mentioned alongside John Henry Newman as one of the most influential Catholic thinkers of his day. His most important works were: The Mystical Element of Religion (1908), Essays and Addresses (1921), and The Reality of God (1931).
