moving stones habit
Natural Selection never made it come to pass, as a habit of nature, that an unsupported stone should move downwards rather than upwards. It applies to no part of inorganic nature, and is very limited even in the phenomena of organic life.
men causes accidents
The accidental causes of science are only accidents relatively to the intelligence of a man.
mean may causes
By what criterion... can we distinguish among the numberless effects, that are also causes, and among the causes that may, for aught we can know, be also effects, - how can we distinguish which are the means and which are the ends?
philosophy intellectual desire
The questions of philosophy proper are human desires and fears and aspirations - human emotions - taking an intellectual form.
ignorance able compulsion
We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.
character hallucinations facts
All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed, or can be made to agree, about facts of sensible experience, through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive, and over which the individual will and character have no control.
confidence agreement mind
Such evidence is not the only kind which produces belief; though positivism maintains that it is the only kind which ought to produce so high a degree of confidence as all minds have or can be made to have through their agreements.
giving experience research
If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research.
philosophy writing science
The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is basedon induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.
men order intelligence
In the scale of life there is a gradual decline in physical variability, as the organism has gathered into itself resources for meeting the exigencies of changing external conditions; and that while in the mindless and motionless plant these resources are at a minimum, their maximum is reached in the mind of man, which, at length, rises to a level with the total order and powers of nature, and in its scientific comprehension of nature is a summary, an epitome of the world.
long duty neglected
What a fearful object a long-neglected duty gets to be
sometimes young shows
I like televangelism shows. I find it entertaining sometimes to see how a young person would deliver the word versus a old person.
labels records paid
You gotta' sell a million records before you talk about getting paid at a major [label].
heart fans one-thing
One thing you can't do to a fan is change their heart about somebody.
