Sivu 201 - It is true that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. For, while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them and go no further, but, when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity.
Sivu 204 - The physiologist qua physiologist knows nothing of the total situations in the daily life of an individual that shape his action and conduct. He may teach us all there is to know about the mechanism of stepping, but it is not his task to determine whether man walks before he crawls, the age at which walking...
Sivu 193 - is more injurious to the life of scholarship in general, and especially of philosophy, than the too strict and definite organization of schools of investigation. The life of academic scholarship depends upon individual liberty. ... A philosophy merely accepted from another man and not thought out for one's self is as dead as a mere catalogue of possible opinions. The inevitable result of the temporary triumph of an apparently closed school of university teachers of philosophy, who undertake to be...
Sivu 221 - But it will be said that these presentations are false, and that I am dreaming. Let it be so. At all events it is certain that I seem to see light, hear a noise, and feel heat ; this cannot be false, and this is what in me is properly called perceiving (sentire), which is nothing else than thinking. From this I begin to know what I am with somewhat greater clearness and distinctness than heretofore.
Sivu 124 - ... revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated by God immediately; which reason vouches the truth of, by the testimony and proofs it gives that they come from God. So that he that takes away reason to make way for revelation, puts out the light of both...
Sivu 171 - driving force of Idealism,' as I understand it, is not furnished by the question how mind and reality can meet in knowledge, but by the theory of logical stability, which makes it plain that nothing can fulfill the conditions of self-existence except by possessing the unity which belongs only to mind?
Sivu 68 - In current modern speech, as distinct from the technical language of philosophy, the meaning of "idealism" is determined by that of "ideal." Now, "ideal" is a word which itself has several shades of meaning. It has recently been defined as "a conception of what, if attained, would fully satisfy; of what is perfect of its kind, and, in consequence, is the pattern to be copied, and the standard by which actual achievement is to be judged.
Sivu 18 - ... object of a particular sense I mean that which cannot be perceived by any other sense and in respect to which deception is impossible; for example, sight is of colour, hearing of sound and taste of flavour, while touch no doubt has for its object several varieties. But at any rate each single sense judges of its proper objects and is not deceived as to the fact that there is a colour or a sound; though as to what or where the coloured object is or what or where the object is which produces the...
Sivu 86 - The complete definition of an ideal is : "... a general concept of a type of experience which we approve in relation to a complete view of all our experience, including all our approvals, and which we acknowledge that we ought to realize.
Sivu 52 - In general, we mean by any concept nothing more than a set of operations; the concept is synonymous with the corresponding set of operations.
