Synopsis

From Plato to Oscar Wilde practically every writer of dialogues has commanded attention. The dialogues in this book are not discussions between antagonistic minds, but rather impressions of three intelligences, simultaneously watching the infinite procession of facts and ideas. So long as we conceive the world to be only in the process of Becoming, so long will it be inevitable that all our world-conceptions be in constant flux. A world that never is but always to be cannot remain stable enough for a single moment to allow even of description, let alone of definition and interpretation; and a statement approximately true today may be anything but true tomorrow. On the other hand, if we accept the classical view that the process of Becoming is not the Becoming of Reality, but only of our perception of Reality; in other words, that Reality always is, and that our appreciation of it is alone a process—many things, now necessarily unintelligible and meaningless, become at least potentially intelligible. In practical life, no less than in science, the need of a true view of the whole is perhaps the greatest need of our day.
