no more maintain an existence than a Great
ure whose nervous system has become para
lyzed throughout He could no more sur
vive without instincts than dog who had
suffered the privation of those properties
He could no more reason without the use u
intulive faculties than he could without
brains. A plurality Of such could no more
maintain society than the same number Of
lay figures; and philosophy of the meta
physical could not, by any conceivable pos
sibility, be of more practical value to the
actual mankind than philosophy Of scare
crows
1t has been claimed in behalf Of the super
sensible philosophy that, if it is of no innme-
date econ Omical use to mankind, it has an
swered an important purpose in elevating Its
thoughts, purifying its ambition, keeping it
in mind of the dignity of its mission, inspir-
ing it with nobler sentiments and lifting IL
above that domain of the senses in which the
lower orders of the creation, wanting its sur
preme endowment, are imprisoned. If E
could be shown that such service has actually
been rendered TO mankind by this philoso-
ply there would be no denying its useful
ness But beside the fact that this claim
stands altogether upon assumption and can
only be maintained by uncandid eclecticism
in regard to the evidence, there IS principle
which denies to humanity any profit what
ever from the PRONUNCIATION or acceptance t
unsound dogmas or false systems of ideals
The time is past for holding that error u
efficient to keep men in order; much more
is it past for affirming that they can be made
better or wiser by misinstruction.
The metaphysical philosophy begins and
ends in egotism. Its final cause ii vanity
the absurd ambition of weak humanity to
create a creator in its own image. and then
to convince itself of its co-essentiality with
the thing it has created. OF all the dognlas
which humanity has framed to its own dis
advantage that of the immaculate concep-
ton of the mind has been in its conse-
quences the most mischievous. 1t is not
essential to any religious creed or concep.
ton. 1t has debased all the PHILOSOPHERS
anthropological, sociological and education
al-at their sources. 1t has set up infexibls
error as an obstacle to knowledge and an
impeachment to inquiry. 1t has been the
germ of false erudition to hold the minds
of men against the entrance of sound ideas
1t has made men conceited in themselves,
intolerant of each other and inconsiderats
and inhuman in their treatment of the in
ferior orders of animals. HENRY REED
