This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ...trace unity of faculty through all the differences of mental phenomena, but to which we can never attain, owing_ to the nature of the matter with which we deal. Again, in our scientific attempts to explain our external experience, the unity of reason takes the form of an idea of the world as a completed infinite whole, which contains all the objects known to us and all other possible objects; but this idea cannot be realised in an experience which is conditioned by space and time, and is, therefore, ever incomplete. The idea of totality is, therefore, an ideal, which guides and stimulates our scientific progress, without which such a thing as science could not exist, but which at the-same time can never be realised by science. Lastly, the unity-of reason takes a third form in which identity and totality are combined, --as the idea of a unity in which all differences, even the difference of subject and object, are transcended, --the idea of a unity of all things with each other and with the mind that knows them. This idea also is one which science can neither surrender nor realise. It cannot surrender it, without giving up that striving after unity without which science would not exist; and it cannot realise it, for the difference between the world, as it is presented to us in actual experience, and the subjective determination of our thinking consciousness, cannot be overcome. We can, indeed, use the idea that the world is an organic whole, determined in relation to an end which consciousness sets for itself, as an heuristic principle to guide us in following the connection of things with each other; but, as we cannot, by means of any such idea, anticipate what the facts of external experience will be, so we cannot prove that, for a mind.
