Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Man Responsible for His Dispositions, Opinions, and Conduct: A Lecture Delivered in the Mechanics Institution, Southampton Buildings, on Feb, 17, 1840 The usual preliminary of a discussion, namely, the definition of the principal term in question, is, in the present instance, attended with an incidental difficulty, not to be surmounted without virtually affirming what has been alleged to require proof. But then this same difficulty attaches to every argument concerning the great principles of human nature; inasmuch as the mere fact that human language furnishes terms whereby such faculties may be defined and described is a substantial proof of their reality. If, for example, it were asked - Is man a rational animal? - the contrary being pretended, and if the advocate of so whimsical a paradox were required to make us understand, by definitions, or circumlocutions, or by equivalents, drawn from other languages, what it is precisely of which he means to despoil humanity, in merely stating his objection, he must answer it; or at least supply all the materials necessary for his own refutation.
