Présentation de l'éditeur
Nor does this inadequacy in the premissesfrom which thinkers start lie, as a rule, in mere numerical imcompleteness, that is, in leaving certain facts altogether out of sight, but rather in taking a partial and confined view of the facts admitted in giving preponderance to a single aspect of some truth, where others are equally possible and equally necessary. Truth, like beauty, depends chiefly upon proportion. Exaggerate a single feature, and you must needs caricature the expression. But harmonious balance is not the condition of human activity. The line of progress, whether ethical or intellectual, is not straight but zigzag. One party pushes toomuch to this side, their opponents too much to that; and between them the world gets on. It is only in the retrospect that proportion is attainable. In reviewing the speculations of an active era of thought we cannot guard too carefully against onesidedness, nor seek too painfu Uyfor the standpoint herefrom dififerent, and seemingly incongruous, views of the same subject may be found not mutually exclusive. In most great speculative controversies we are brought face to face with this diflS- culty, that many of the deductions from conflicting theories agree equally well with facts. Now though a true conclusion can be got out of false premisses, yet the probabilities are against its happening frequently. We must look for truth, therefoie, on both sides; and till we can attain the point of view from which two theories, each of which agrees partially with facts, tjan be seen to harmonize, must provisionally put up with the appearanceof contradiction. We may attain a surface kind of comprehensiveness by following common-sense and ignoring speculation; or we may be onesided and admirably logical; but it is difficult to be comprehensive and consistent too.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book undertakes a fascinating investigation into the inherent duality of human nature and morality, categorized by the author as falling into two central schools of thought: Spiritualism and Materialism. The author shows how each perspective informs our understanding of the nature of right and wrong, from questions of free will and perception of external reality to morality, ethics, and the resulting impact on our individual and societal behavior. The book elucidates the interplay between our inner and outer perceptions, demonstrating that we are products of both our thoughts and the world around us. It delves into the reasoning and biases of each school of thought, revealing that the pursuit of truth often requires a reconciliation of seemingly opposing viewpoints. By delving into the often contradictory impulses within each of us, the author uncovers a possible harmony between seemingly polarized worldviews. This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of human nature, morality, and the delicate balance between subjective and objective reality.
