Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Final Causes It is with joy and gratitude that I see my book on Final Causes presented to the English public by a scholarly writer, to whom I here present my best thanks for the care and talent with which he has applied himself to translate it. It has given me particular pleasure to be introduced in England by way of Scotland, that country of profound reason, where wisdom has always been mingled with a certain agreeableness and good grace commanding sympathy. The philosophers of that country - Adam Smith, Hutchison, Ferguson, Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart, and even David Hume - have all, under different forms, that charm that comes from naturalness, candour, and mild and serious sentiments. In these authors there is entire scientific and intellectual liberty; and yet the soul is in security. They never wound it by insolence, hauteur, irony, or systematic intolerance. They always respect the instinctive beliefs. Their very doubt is amiable and respectful. In another order of ideas, the celebrated Sir Walter Scott, a great favourite in France, also represents that agreeable mixture of excellent and always strong sense with a sweet, varied, and cheerful imagination, whose graceful pictures have something very sober, clear, and penetrating. I think I find in that inimitable novelist the same qualities as in the historians and philosophers of Scot land. To be introduced into this noble country, into the midst of this family of amiable and respected minds, for whom I have always had so much sympathy, is an honour of which I keenly feel the value.
