Page 87 - In a less analytical language he might have at command a sound corresponding to a sentence rather than to a "noun substantive." The verb of inflected languages, 2 such as Greek or Latin, in which the "nominative case" need not be supplied even by a pronoun, is the type for us of a sentence not yet broken up. The bearing of this truth on Logic is to make us treat it in two parts and not in three. We do not treat of Name, Proposition, Syllogism, or of Concept, Judgment, Inference, but only of the two...
Page 4 - No truth therefore is more certain, more independent of all others, and less in need of proof than this, that all that exists for knowledge, and therefore this whole world, is only object in relation to subject, perception of a perceiver, in a word, idea.

Page 36 - List rather to the deeds I did for mortals ; how, being fools before, I made them wise and true in aim of soul. And let me tell you, — not as taunting men, But teaching you the intention of my gifts, — How, first beholding, they beheld in vain, And, hearing, heard not, but, like shapes in dreams, Mixed all things wildly down the tedious time, Nor knew to build a house against the sun With wicketed sides, nor any wood-craft knew, But lived, like silly ants, beneath the ground In hollow caves unsunned....
Page 139 - If each particular was shut up within itself as in the letters taken as an instance just now, you could never get from one which is given to another which is not given, or to a connection not given between two which arc given.
Page 41 - Each of them therefore must be regarded as a partial expression of the nature of reality, and the subject will always be Reality in one form, and the predicate reality in another form.
Page 13 - According to philosophical theory the objective is independent of our consciousness in the sense that it is what we are constrained to think in order to make our consciousness consistent with itself.
