yet more convenient was proposed instead so the great of force which is nothing else but abstract motion or action the s march it would be e� r to out in this s in to all knowledge from and yet building theories upon where ire impossible or at least have been made but the point of interest that these errors are not accidental or at random but show a progress of the system itself beyond its own principles � that it and thereby the term is n used by persons of this way of thinking as equivalent to or m � or misty which is supposed to be the same thing � and as a pretence of human to accomplish what is beyond their sphere but this again can apply nowhere so well as to the system itself for this is precisely its portion it has got so far ae to feel that the reality it seeks is not the phenomenon � bat no reality except matter it does not get beyond this negative conception of matter matter that is from which all attributes are abstracted thus it makes reality an abstraction and at the same time speaks of it as and present to experience it may be worth while shortly to describe the process gone through by the theory were pure realities one act would be as in science as a thousand all that we can learn at all we could learn at once and there would be no need of but every one feels that in every fact there is much that is accidental and belongs to the particular circumstances of its appearance if every fact were a pure reality then a five legged calf would be a new species this however was never imagined unless by a child or a savage men with very little aid of science come unconsciously to the notion of a ti pe that is a universal form to which phenomena ought but sometimes do not an ideal standard is established � that is the reality of the thing is declared to be outside of it and not attained in any one thing though all aim and tend it � � but each more or less wide of the mark this is the true sense of which is nothing else than the attempt to discover the reality in phenomena but this establishing of a type is nevertheless directly contrary to the with which the theory begins � namely that is equivalent to matter for here a distinction is made between the th and its reality the system common sense nothing of these distinctions to it the world is a and reality a calf with a leg or two more or less does not puzzle the he is used indeed to see with four legs and is thus at first with the novelty but he knows no reason why if it pleased god they should not have twenty legs as well as four and if the birth of a five calf should happen half a dozen times would bo quite reconciled to it and think no more of the matter � that is his are he is content with his immediate experience and his being merely instinctive and not a matter of reflection is readily modified instinctively he makes a distinction between and reality matter and form so that degrees of connection between them and thus different degrees of reality are recognized and acted upon in practice though not in theory as the mind is further developed it becomes by degrees conscious of this distinction and re upon it the of the material world become the object of interest and the question arises whether these laws are invariable the answer is that the law invariably acts but from various the effect does not always follow cf importance is thus given to the law the general form and less to the particular case the subject matter in which the law is manifested thus the distinction before instinctively made is now recognized also matter and law are separate ae form and substance and come together only in the ti in which the law is completely embodied and the body completely obedient to the law this is a great step for here reality is placed in the coincidence of matter and law that is they are declared to be really identical and where they do not completely there must bo here however the theory becomes or rather to adopt s distinction tr ce the notion of type that matter is not equivalent to reality that is that the assumption is mr mill accordingly this notion others as mr philosophy of admit it but the main point is admitted by all since otherwise could not go on but though they hold fast to the new view they do not let go the one a contradiction thus arises reality is outside of matter and yet is identical with it it is therefore both identical and not identical that is it is partly identical material objects them are no ii the system march partly real and j unreal these sides are to be separated the phenomenon is to be split in and the one half retained the other thrown away this is the actual position of tlie theory here however it is to be remarked that the two sides are merely declared so that if we fix a to be reality b must be � but it does not appear by what authority one is preferred to the other that is why b not as well be and a in whatever way we establish it some one else may choose to reverse their relative positions � to declare our cases typical and vice all then must be conventional we cannot affirm any identity between things but only it is necessary therefore to find some principle of between these but as they are of themselves mere there is either no such
