Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Cardinal Points in Knowledge Moreover, it is evident from the physical sciences, that the replica is capable of many analyses quite different from those sensations which give us our immediate knowledge of it, though always into constituents which derive their whole meaning from touch and stress sensations (pars. 24-32). [There follow here some remarks on Pragmatism, a doctrine very much in vogue at the present time (pars. 33-8).] VI. We locate, in thought, consciousness within the organism, because it is within the organism that we cannot but locate its proximate real conditions as an existent (pars. 39-49). VII. The elements which are inseparable from one another in all human empirical experience may be grouped under two heads, formal and material, the formal being those of time-duration and space-extension, and the material some mode or modes of feeling. But we cannot avoid conceiving the possibility of an indefinite variety of modes of consciousness other than our own, of which we can form no positive idea whatever (par. 50). VIII. The Emotions are those modes of feeling, the existence of which is immediately conditioned upon intra-cerebral activities, just as that of sensations is upon stimuli received by the peripheral terminations of the neuro-cerebral system. Their specific qualities in point of kind are as incapable of being thought to be caused or conditioned, as those of sensation are. They have thus an equal title with the sensations, and with the formal co-elements of time and space, which are common to both, to rank as ultimate sources of man´s whole knowledge of Being and Existence, of the Universe and of Reality. We cannot avoid understanding the terms Being and Existence to mean that which, at the least, is knowable by some consciousness or other (pars. 51-5). IX. Emotions are the motives (including in that term the unperceived activity of their proximate real conditions) of all Desire, Volition, Thought, and Conscious Action. When consciously adopted they are known as Final Causes (pars. 56-9). X. Theology differs from Philosophy in having a special object of inquiry, viz. the Power which upholds the Totality of Being - not that Totality itself. It differs from Religion in not being emotional, but theoretical only (pars. 60-1). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
