Seite 476 - Throughout the universe, whatever exists, exists not so much for its own sake, as for the sake of something higher and nobler than itself.
Seite 173 - The whole function of philosophy ought to be to find out what definite difference it will make to you and me, at definite instants of our life, if this world-formula or that world-formula be the true one.
Seite 381 - It is consequent also to the same condition that there be no propriety, no dominion, no 'mine' and 'thine' distinct, but only that to be every man's that he can get, and for so long as he can keep it.
Seite 379 - There is no similar journal in the field of scientific philosophy. It is identified with no philosophical tradition, and stands preeminently for the correlation of philosophy with the problems and experience of the present. The contents of recent numbers include A Study of Purpose HOWARD C.
Seite 322 - Philosophers have commonly held that the laws of logic, which underlie 10 mathematics, are laws of thought, laws regulating the operations of our minds. By this opinion, the true dignity of reason is very greatly lowered: it ceases to be an investigation into the very heart and immutable essence of all things actual and possible, becoming, instead, an inquiry into something more or less human and subiect to our limitations. The contemplation of what is non-human, the discovery that our minds are...
Seite 114 - Science is being daily more and more personified and anthropomorphised into a god. By and by they will say that science took our nature upon him, and sent down his only begotten son, Charles Darwin, or Huxley, into the world so that those who believe in him, etc.; and they will burn people for saying that science, after all, is only an expression for our ignorance of our own ignorance.
Seite 381 - And, in these four things, opinion of ghosts, ignorance of second causes, devotion towards what men fear, and taking of things casual for prognostics, consisteth the natural seed of

Seite 328 - ... has been admitted different from A and B, and no longer is predicated of them. Something, however, seems to be said of this relation C, and said, again, of A and B. And this something is not to be the ascription of one to the other. If so, it would appear to be another relation, D, in which C, on one side, and, on the other side, A and B, stand. But such a makeshift leads at once to the infinite process. The new relation D can be predicated in no way of C, or of A and B ; and hence we must have...
Seite 327 - simply sweet", the thing would clearly be not sweet. And again, in so far as sugar is sweet it is not white or hard; for these properties are all distinct. Nor, again, can the thing be all its properties, if you take them each severally. Sugar is obviously not mere whiteness, mere hardness, and mere sweetness; for its reality lies somehow in its unity.
