16287 | When two of these asses met, there would be an anxious''Have you got your lantern?'' 16287 ***** And now what is the result of all these considerations and quotations? 16287 ***** But what, exactly, do we mean by an ideal? 16287 And in what does your deliberation consist? 16287 And what do we retort when they say this? 16287 And which has the superior view of the absolute truth, he or we? 16287 And who knows how much of that higher manliness of poverty, of which Phillips Brooks has spoken so penetratingly, was or was not present in that gang? 16287 And why is this so? 16287 As you sit reading the most moving romance you ever fell upon, what sort of a judge is your fox- terrier of your behavior? 16287 But how can one attain to the feeling of the vital significance of an experience, if one have it not to begin with? 16287 But this forming of associations with a fact,--what is it but thinking_ about_ the fact as much as possible? 16287 But was not this a paradox well calculated to fill one with dismay? 16287 But, if so, how does he point it out? 16287 Can not we escape some of those hideous ancestral intolerances and cruelties, and positive reversals of the truth? 16287 Can the teacher afford to throw such an ally away? 16287 Can we give no definite account of such a word? 16287 Can we say which of these functions is the more essential? 16287 Could a Howells or a Kipling be enlisted in this mission? 16287 Does your faculty of memory obey the order, and reproduce any definite image from your past? 16287 For where would any of it have been without their unremitting, unrewarded labor in the fields? 16287 How are idioms acquired, how do local peculiarities of phrase and accent come about? 16287 How can conversation possibly steer itself through such a sea of responsibilities and inhibitions as this? 16287 How is it when an alternative is presented to you for choice, and you are uncertain what you ought to do? 16287 I was out early taking a short walk by the river only two squares from where I live.... Shall I tell you about[ my life] just to fill up? 16287 If the outer differences had no meaning for life, why indeed should all this immense variety of them exist? 16287 If there_ were_ any such morally exceptional individuals, however, what made them different from the rest? 16287 If, arresting ourselves in the flow of reverie, we ask the question,How came we to be thinking of just this object now?" |

32547 | ( 1) There is a psychological question:"Have we perceptions of activity? |
32547 | ( 2) There is a metaphysical question:"Is there a_ fact_ of activity? |
32547 | ABSOLUTISM AND EMPIRICISM 266 INDEX 281 I DOES''CONSCIOUSNESS''EXIST? |
32547 | Again, if to be satisfactory is what is meant by being true,_ whose_ satisfactions, and_ which_ of his satisfactions, are to count? |
32547 | Ame, vie, souffle, qui saurait bien les distinguer exactement? |
32547 | And finally there is a logical question:( 3)"Whence do we_ know_ activity? |
32547 | And if the Hegelians_ will_ refuse to set an example, what can they expect the rest of us to do? |
32547 | And these trains of experience themselves, in which activities appear, what makes them_ go_ at all? |
32547 | And, if knowledge be not there, how can objective reference occur? |
32547 | And, if so, do the wide activities accompany the narrow ones inertly, or do they exert control? |
32547 | Are the forces that really act in the world more foreseeing or more blind? |
32547 | As thing, it is red, hard, heavy; but who ever heard of a red, hard or heavy thought? |
32547 | At this point does it not seem as if the quarrel about self- transcendency in knowledge might drop? |
32547 | But again,_ Ich kann nicht anders._ I show my feelings; why_ will_ they not show theirs? |
32547 | But do not such dialectic difficulties remind us of the dog dropping his bone and snapping at its image in the water? |
32547 | But what is''your body''here but a percept in_ my_ field? |
32547 | But what made them at all? |
32547 | But what possible meaning has it to say that, when we think of a foot- rule or a square yard, extension is not attributable to our thought? |
32547 | But, dislike for dislike, who shall decide? |
32547 | But, if so, to what does it make a difference? |
32547 | By our own feelings of it solely? |
32547 | Can anything prevent Faust from changing"Am Anfang war das Wort"into"Am Anfang war die That?" |
32547 | Can our two hands be mutual objects in this experience, and the rope not be mutual also? |
32547 | Can the knowledge be there before these elements that constitute its being have come? |
32547 | Cela pourrait- il advenir si l''objet et l''idà © e à © taient absolument dissemblables de nature? |
32547 | Changed to''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |
32547 | Comment ne pas l''admettre? |
32547 | Continuity ca n''t mean mere absence of gap; for if you say two things are in immediate contact,_ at_ the contact how can they be two? |
32547 | DOES''CONSCIOUSNESS''EXIST? |
32547 | De quelle à © toffe est- il fait? |
32547 | Do our minds have no object in common after all? |
32547 | Does not this case of extension now put us on the track of truth in the case of other qualities? |
32547 | Does our feeling do more than_ record_ the fact that the strain is sustained? |
32547 | Does the activity in one bit of experience bring the next bit into being? |
32547 | Est- elle dans la statue, dans la sonate, ou dans notre esprit? |
32547 | Et l''acte de penser ce contenu, la conscience que j''en ai, que sont- ils? |
32547 | First he asks: Do not experience and science show''that countless things are[126] experienced as that which they are not or are only partially?'' |
32547 | How do I get my hold on words not yet existent, and when they come by what means have I_ made_ them come? |
32547 | How does the pulling_ pull_? |
32547 | How is this feat performed? |
32547 | IS RADICAL EMPIRICISM SOLIPSISTIC? |
32547 | IV HOW TWO MINDS CAN KNOW ONE THING[68] In[ the essay] entitled''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |
32547 | IX IS RADICAL EMPIRICISM SOLIPSISTIC? |
32547 | Ici encore, l''à © toffe de l''expà © rience ne fait- elle pas double emploi, le physique et le psychique ne se confondent- ils pas? |
32547 | Idà © es et Choses, comment donc ne pas reconnaà ® tre leur dualisme? |
32547 | If you do not feel my finger''s contact to be''there''in_ my_ sense, when I place it on your body, where then do you feel it? |
32547 | Is it not a purely verbal dispute? |
32547 | Is it not the real door of separation between Empiricism and Rationalism? |
32547 | Is it not time to repeat what Lotze said of substances, that to_ act like_ one is to_ be_ one? |
32547 | Is it true that what is negative in one way is thereby convicted of incapacity to be positive in any other way? |
32547 | Is natural realism, permissible in logic, refuted then by empirical fact? |
32547 | Is not that disjunction the ultimate word of Logic in the matter, and can any disjunction, as such, resolve_ itself_? |
32547 | Is not then the validity of the Anselmian proof the nucleus of the whole question between Logic and Fact? |
32547 | Is that point really anything more than a fantastic dislike to letting_ anything_ say''Hands off''? |
32547 | Just what, from being''pure,''does its becoming''conscious''_ once_ mean? |
32547 | La beautà ©, par exemple, où rà © side- t- elle? |
32547 | Mais cet objet prà © sent, qu''est- il en lui- même? |
32547 | Mais encore ce contenu, qu''est- il? |
32547 | Mais qui peut faire la part, dans la table concrètement aperçue, de ce qui est sensation et de ce qui est idà © e? |
32547 | Motion implies terminus; and how can terminus be felt before we have arrived? |
32547 | Must n''t something_ in_ each of the three elements already determine the two others to_ it_, so that they do not settle elsewhere or float vaguely? |
32547 | Must n''t the_ whole fact be pre- figured in each part_, and exist_ de jure_ before it can exist_ de facto_? |
32547 | Must we assert the objective double- ness of the_ M_ merely because we have to name it twice over when we name its two relations? |
32547 | My reply is: Assuredly not the possibility of either-- how could it? |
32547 | Note 93: XXV aud XXVI Changed to XXV and XXVI Note 101:''Does Consciousuess Exist?'' |
32547 | Of feelings of anger, or of angry feelings? |
32547 | Of good impulses, or of impulses towards the good? |
32547 | Of healthy thoughts or of thoughts of healthy objects? |
32547 | Of which of our many objects are we to believe that it truly_ was_ there and at work before the human mind began? |
32547 | Of wicked desires or of desires for wickedness? |
32547 | Or do they perhaps utterly supplant and replace them and short- circuit their effects? |
32547 | Or why does n''t the''on''connect itself with another book, or something that is not a table? |
32547 | Or, comment se reprà © sente- t- on cette conscience do nt nous sommes tous si portà © s à admettre l''existence? |
32547 | Or, on the other hand, does it independently short- circuit their effects? |
32547 | Ought not the efforts of Mr. Haldane and his friends to be principally devoted to its elucidation? |
32547 | Ought we to listen forever to verbal pictures of what we have already in concrete form in our own breasts? |
32547 | Peut- on dire ici que le psychique et le physique sont absolument hà © tà © rogènes? |
32547 | Pourquoi la rà © clamons- nous si fortement, que celui qui la nierait nous semblerait plutôt un mauvais plaisant qu''un penseur? |
32547 | Really it is the problem of creation; for in the end the question is: How do I make them_ be_? |
32547 | Sentiments et Objets, comment douter de leur hà © tà © rogà © nà © ità © absolue? |
32547 | Shall we say an''agreeable degree of heat,''or an''agreeable feeling''occasioned by the degree of heat? |
32547 | Shall we speak of seductive visions or of visions of seductive things? |
32547 | The articles referred to are''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |
32547 | The others but transmit that agent''s impulse; on him we put responsibility; we name him when one asks us''Who''s to blame?'' |
32547 | The question,"Shall Fact be recognized as an ultimate principle?" |
32547 | They are altered so far only[_ How far? |
32547 | To begin with,_ are_ thought and thing as heterogeneous as is commonly said? |
32547 | V First of all, this will be asked:"If experience has not''conscious''existence, if it be not partly made of''consciousness,''of what then is it made? |
32547 | What are the two processes, now, into which the room- experience simultaneously enters in this way? |
32547 | What can kindle feeling but the example of feeling? |
32547 | What else explains the contempt the Absolutist authors exhibit for a freedom defined simply on its"negative"side, as freedom"from,"etc.? |
32547 | What else prompts them to deride such freedom? |
32547 | What in the will_ enables_ it to act thus? |
32547 | What is it like? |
32547 | What now is that decisive well- determined way? |
32547 | What propels experience_ überhaupt_ into being? |
32547 | What then would the self- transcendency affirmed to exist in advance of all experiential mediation or termination, be_ known- as_? |
32547 | What then?" |
32547 | What would it practically result in for_ us_, were it true? |
32547 | What, exactly, in a system of experiences, does the''substitution''of one of them for another mean? |
32547 | What, in fact, is the logic of these abstract systems? |
32547 | When the whole universe seems only to be making itself valid and to be still incomplete( else why its ceaseless changing?) |
32547 | Why do I postulate your mind? |
32547 | Why does he immediately add that for the pluralist to plead the non- mutation of such abstractions would be an_ ignoratio elenchi_? |
32547 | Why insist that knowing is a static relation out of time when it practically seems so much a function of our active life? |
32547 | Why is n''t the table on the book? |
32547 | Why is not their dislike at having me"from"them, entirely on a par with mine at having them"through"me? |
32547 | Why is the notion of hypothesis so abhorrent to the Hegelian mind? |
32547 | Why should it not be making itself valid like everything else? |
32547 | Why then do men leave them as ambiguous as they do, and not class them decisively as purely spiritual? |
32547 | Why, then, need he quarrel with an account of knowing that merely leaves it liable to this inevitable condition? |
32547 | [ 101] Let me not be told that this contradicts[ the first essay],''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |
32547 | [ 112] This statement is probably excessively obscure to any one who has not read my two articles,''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |
32547 | [ 136] But how can two structureless things interact so as to produce a structure? |
32547 | [ 138] Most recently in two articles,"Does''Consciousness''Exist?" |
32547 | [ 56] But"is there any sense,"asks Mr. Bradley, peevishly, on p. 579,"and if so, what sense in truth that is only outside and''about''things?" |
32547 | [ 78] Is the preciousness of a diamond a quality of the gem? |
32547 | [_ Does n''t it make a difference to us onlookers, at least?_] and what is the meaning and sense of qualifying the terms by it? |
32547 | [_ Does n''t it make a difference to us onlookers, at least?_] and what is the meaning and sense of qualifying the terms by it? |
32547 | [_ Is it the''intimacy''suggested by the little word''of,''here, which I have underscored, that is the root of Mr. Bradley''s trouble?_]... |
32547 | [_ Why so, if they contribute only their surface? |
32547 | and if so, what are they like, and when and where do we have them?" |
32547 | and if so, what idea must we frame of it? |

11984 | [ 1] What Oxford thinker would dare to print such_ naïf_ and provincial- sounding citations of authority to- day? 11984 ''Can a plurality of reals be possible?'' 11984 ''Do you mean to limit God''s power?'' 11984 ''I yielded myself to the perfect whole,''writes Emerson; and where can you find a more mind- dilating object? 11984 ( 1) There is a psychological question: Have we perceptions of activity? 11984 ( 2) There is a metaphysical question: Is there a_ fact_ of activity? 11984 All the consciousness we directly know seems tied to brains.--Can there be consciousness, we ask, where there is no brain? 11984 An immediate experience, as yet unnamed or classed, is a mere_ that_ that we undergo, a thing that asks,''_ What_ am I?'' 11984 And finally there is a logical question:( 3) Whence do we_ know_ activity? 11984 And how in the end does the chain of influences find_ b_ rather than_ c_ unless_ b_ is somehow prefigured in them already? 11984 And these trains of experience themselves, in which activities appear, what makes them_ go_ at all? 11984 And what can the parts of a total consciousness be unless they be fractional consciousnesses? 11984 And when they have found_ b_, how do they make_ b_ respond, if_ b_ has nothing in common with them? 11984 And, if so, do the wide activities accompany the narrow ones inertly, or do they exert control? 11984 Are the forces that really act in the world more foreseeing or more blind? 11984 As such, is it more probable or more improbable? 11984 As we envelop our sight and hearing, so the earth- soul envelops us, and the star- soul the earth- soul, until-- what? 11984 But do we not also escape from sense- reality altogether? 11984 But how can what is_ actually_ one be_ effectively_ so many? 11984 But if even the absolute has to have a pluralistic vision, why should we ourselves hesitate to be pluralists on our own sole account? 11984 But ought one seriously to allow such a timid consideration as that to deter one from following the evident path of greatest religious promise? 11984 But the earth is no such cripple; why should she who already possesses within herself the things we so painfully pursue, have limbs analogous to ours? 11984 But what at bottom is meant by calling the universe many or by calling it one? 11984 But what made them at all? 11984 But, if so, to what does it make a difference? 11984 But_ are_ not differents actually dissolved in one another? 11984 By another influence perhaps? 11984 By our own feelings of it solely? 11984 Can not the earth- mind know otherwise the contents of our minds together? 11984 Can we, on the one hand, give up the logic of identity?--can we, on the other, believe human experience to be fundamentally irrational? 11984 Does it follow that nothing but strings can give out sound? 11984 Does its author not reason by concepts exclusively in his very attempt to show that they can give no insight? 11984 Does n''t this show a singularly indigent imagination? 11984 Does our feeling do more than_ record_ the fact that the strain is sustained? 11984 Does superhuman consciousness probably exist? 11984 Does the activity in one bit of experience bring the next bit into being? 11984 Does the influence detach itself from_ a_ and find_ b_? 11984 Does the water- lily, rocking in her triple bath of water, air, and light, relish in no wise her own beauty? 11984 For, he will ask, is not the absolute defined as the total consciousness of everything that is? 11984 How can many consciousnesses be at the same time one consciousness? 11984 How can one and the same identical fact experience itself so diversely? 11984 How do I get my hold on words not yet existent, and when they come, by what means have I_ made_ them come? 11984 How does the pulling_ pull_? 11984 How is this feat performed? 11984 How should its consciousness, if it have one, be superior to his? 11984 How then about flutes and organ- pipes? 11984 How, then, can they become severally alive on their own accounts and think themselves quite otherwise than as he thinks them? 11984 If the absolute makes us by knowing us, how can we exist otherwise than_ as_ it knows us? 11984 If the earth be a sentient organism, we say, where are her brain and nerves? 11984 If truth be the universal_ fons et origo_, how does error slip in? 11984 If you say''all things are relative,''to what is the all of them itself relative? 11984 If you say''disorder,''what is that but a certain bad kind of order? 11984 If you say''parts,''of_ what_ are they parts? 11984 Is it but the pathetic illusion of beings with incorrigibly social and imaginative minds? 11984 Is it conceivable that it should ever forsake that point of view and abandon itself to a slovenly life of immediate feeling? 11984 Is it not to exert an influence? 11984 Is it probable that there is any superhuman consciousness at all, in the first place? 11984 Is it true or not? 11984 Is n''t it the most admirable? 11984 Is n''t this brave universe made on a richer pattern, with room in it for a long hierarchy of beings? 11984 Is our whole instinctive belief in higher presences, our persistent inner turning towards divine companionship, to count for nothing? 11984 Is the absurdity_ reduced_ in the absolute being whom they call in to relieve it? 11984 Let us turn now at last to the great question of fact,_ Does the absolute exist or not_? 11984 May not you and I be confluent in a higher consciousness, and confluently active there, tho we now know it not? 11984 Moreover, technique for technique, does n''t David Hume''s technique set, after all, the kind of pattern most difficult to follow? 11984 Mr. McTaggart, for example, writes:''Does not our very failure to perceive the perfection of the universe destroy it? 11984 Must every higher means of unification between things be a literal_ brain_-fibre, and go by that name? 11984 Must n''t something_ in_ each of the three elements already determine the two others to_ it_, so that they do not settle elsewhere or float vaguely? 11984 Must n''t the whole fact be_ prefigured in each part_, and exist_ de jure_ before it can exist_ de facto_? 11984 Must not its field of view consist of parts? 11984 Must we assert the objective doubleness of the_ M_ merely because we have to name it twice over when we name its two relations? 11984 Or do they perhaps utterly supplant and replace them and short- circuit their effects? 11984 Or why does n''t the''on''connect itself with another book, or something that is not a table? 11984 Or, on the other hand, does it independently short- circuit their effects? 11984 Ought we to listen forever to verbal pictures of what we have already in concrete form in our own breasts? 11984 Shall she mimic a small part of herself? 11984 Shall we alone obey the veto? 11984 Since when, in this mixed world, was any good thing given us in purest outline and isolation? 11984 So far, so good, then; and one might consequently ask, What more of intimacy do you require? 11984 The immediate experience of life solves the problems which so baffle our conceptual intelligence: How can what is manifold be one? 11984 The others but transmit that agent''s impulse; on him we put responsibility; we name him when one asks us,''Who''s to blame?'' 11984 The philosophic attempt to define nature so that no one''s business is left out, so that no one lies outside the door saying''Where do_ I_ come in?'' 11984 The universe must be rational; well and good; but_ how_ rational? 11984 The_ real_ activity, meanwhile, is the_ doing_ of the fact; and what is the doing made of before the record is made? 11984 They are altered so far only[_ how far? 11984 To trust our senses again with a good philosophic conscience!--who ever conferred on us so valuable a freedom before? 11984 We feel the time to be long while waiting for the process to end, but who knows how long or how short it feels to the sugar? 11984 Well, what must we do in this tragic predicament? 11984 What are the marks of superiority which we are tempted to use here? 11984 What comfort, or peace, Fechner asks, can come from such a doctrine? 11984 What corresponds to her heart and lungs? 11984 What do the terms empiricism and rationalism mean? 11984 What in the will_ enables_ it to act thus? 11984 What is it like? 11984 What is it to act? 11984 What need has she of arms, with nothing to reach for? 11984 What need has she of internal lungs, when her whole sensitive surface is in living commerce with the atmosphere that clings to it? 11984 What propels experience_ überhaupt_ into being? 11984 What, then, are the peculiar features in the perceptual flux which the conceptual translation so fatally leaves out? 11984 What, then, is the dialectic method? 11984 Which part of it properly is in my consciousness, which out? 11984 Who can tell? 11984 Who cares for Carlyle''s reasons, or Schopenhauer''s, or Spencer''s? 11984 Why can not they compromise? 11984 Why can not''experience''and''reason''meet on this common ground? 11984 Why do n''t they go right through_ b_? 11984 Why does he immediately add that for the pluralist to plead the non- mutation of such abstractions would be an_ ignoratio elenchi_? 11984 Why is n''t the table on the book? 11984 Why should we envelop our many with the''one''that brings so much poison in its train? 11984 [ 1]] If, in short, it is external to the terms, how can it possibly be true_ of_ them? 11984 [_ Is it the''intimacy''suggested by the little word''of,''here, which I have underscored, that is the root of Mr. Bradley''s trouble?_].... 11984 [_ Why so, if they contribute only their surface?

5116 | And can we then keep the notion of what is better for us, and what is true for us, permanently apart? |
5116 | And how, experience being what is once for all, would God''s presence in it make it any more living or richer? |
5116 | And, if philosophy is to be religious, how can she be anything else than a place of escape from the crassness of reality''s surface? |

5116 | But Locke says: suppose that God should take away the consciousness, should WE be any the better for having still the soul- principle? |

5116 | But is it not a strange misuse of the word''truth,''you will say, to call ideas also''true''for this reason? |
5116 | But is the matter by which Mr. Spencer''s process of cosmic evolution is carried on any such principle of never- ending perfection as this? |
5116 | But may not our descriptions, Lotze asks, be themselves important additions to reality? |
5116 | But what do the words verification and validation themselves pragmatically mean? |

5116 | I am accustomed to put questions to my classes in this way: In what respects would the world be different if this alternative or that were true? |
5116 | If now, on the other hand, you turn to the religious quarter for consolation, and take counsel of the tender- minded philosophies, what do you find? |
5116 | If sometimes loud, sometimes silent, which NOW? |
5116 | If the Absolute means this, and means no more than this, who can possibly deny the truth of it? |
5116 | If the past and present were purely good, who could wish that the future might possibly not resemble them? |
5116 | If theological ideas should do this, if the notion of God, in particular, should prove to do it, how could pragmatism possibly deny God''s existence? |
5116 | If truths mean verification- process essentially, ought we then to call such unverified truths as this abortive? |
5116 | If you stop, in dealing with such words, with their definition, thinking that to be an intellectual finality, where are you? |
5116 | In other words, do the parts of our universe HANG together, instead of being like detached grains of sand? |
5116 | In particular THIS query has always come home to me: May not the claims of tender- mindedness go too far? |
5116 | In this unfinished world the alternative of''materialism or theism?'' |
5116 | Is NO price to be paid in the work of salvation? |
5116 | Is a constellation properly a thing? |
5116 | Is a knife whose handle and blade are changed the''same''? |
5116 | Is all''yes, yes''in the universe? |
5116 | Is concrete rudeness the only thing that''s true? |
5116 | Is it a principle or an end, an absolute or an ultimate, a first or a last? |
5116 | Is it ante rem or in rebus? |
5116 | Is refinement in itself an abomination? |
5116 | Is that such an irrelevant matter? |
5116 | Is the last word sweet? |
5116 | Is the''changeling,''whom Locke so seriously discusses, of the human''kind''? |
5116 | Is''telepathy''a''fancy''or a''fact''? |
5116 | It never occurs to most of us even later that the question''what is THE truth?'' |
5116 | May not religious optimism be too idyllic? |
5116 | May not the notion of a world already saved in toto anyhow, be too saccharine to stand? |
5116 | May there not after all be a possible ambiguity in truth? |
5116 | Moreover, since there is no reason to suppose that there are stars everywhere, may there not be a great space beyond the region of the stars? |
5116 | Must ALL be saved? |
5116 | Must I constantly be repeating the truth''twice two are four''because of its eternal claim on recognition? |
5116 | Must we as pragmatists be radically tough- minded? |
5116 | Now in real life what vital benefits is any particular belief of ours most liable to clash with? |
5116 | Now what kinds of philosophy do you find actually offered to meet your need? |
5116 | Now, what does THINKING ABOUT the experience of these persons come to compared with directly, personally feeling it, as they feel it? |
5116 | Of myself? |
5116 | Ought we ever not to believe what it is BETTER FOR US to believe? |
5116 | Shall the acknowledgment be loud?--or silent? |
5116 | Should you in all seriousness, if participation in such a world were proposed to you, feel bound to reject it as not safe enough? |
5116 | Suppose he annexed the same consciousness to different souls,| should we, as WE realize OURSELVES, be any the worse for that fact? |
5116 | That imitation en masse is there, who can deny? |
5116 | The great question is: does it, with our additions, rise or fall in value? |
5116 | The really vital question for us all is, What is this world going to be? |
5116 | The resultant metaphysical problem now is this: DOES THE MAN GO ROUND THE SQUIRREL OR NOT? |
5116 | The search for the more definite influences seems to have started in the question:"Who, or what, is to blame?" |
5116 | The world is one-- yes, but HOW one? |
5116 | Then all jealousies will disappear; of whom to be jealous? |
5116 | Those puritans who answered''yes''to the question: Are you willing to be damned for God''s glory? |

5116 | When you say a thing is possible, does not that make some farther difference in terms of actual fact? |
5116 | When you say that a thing is possible, what difference does it make? |
5116 | Where is there any more misery for him? |
5116 | Where our ideas can not copy definitely their object, what does agreement with that object mean? |
5116 | Where would any special deadness, or crassness, come in? |

5116 | Why does Spencer call out so much reverence in spite of his weakness in rationalistic eyes? |
5116 | Why should anything BE? |
5116 | Why should it have needed to transform causes and activities into laws of''functional variation''? |
5116 | Why should n''t we all of us, rationalists as well as pragmatists, confess this? |
5116 | Why should so many educated men who feel that weakness, you and I perhaps, wish to see him in the Abbey notwithstanding? |

5117 | And how about the equally notorious fact that certain true beliefs may cause the bitterest dissatisfaction? |
5117 | And if reality genuinely grows, why may it not grow in these very determinations which here and now are made? |
5117 | And may not the''relationists''be right after all? |
5117 | And what are the marks used by common sense to distinguish those cases from the rest?'' |
5117 | And would it be quite safe to assume so promptly that the quality q of a feeling is one and the same thing with a feeling of the quality q? |

5117 | But what is it expedient to believe? |
5117 | But what right have we to say this until we know that the feeling of q means to stand for or represent just that SAME other q? |
5117 | But when the pragmatist speaks of opinions, does he mean any such insulated and unmotived abstractions as are here supposed? |
5117 | But which one DOES it stand for? |
5117 | But would the man be prudent in the absence of each and all of the acts? |
5117 | Can I, if it is really an act of free- will, be properly said to have given the money? |
5117 | Can the definition ever contradict the deed? |
5117 | Can the knowledge be there before these elements that constitute its being have come? |
5117 | Can they consequently be treated distinctively as the truth- builders? |
5117 | Certainly not, and why? |
5117 | Do not these distinctions rightly relieve me from embarrassment? |
5117 | Do such acts CONSTITUTE the prudence? |
5117 | Do you say that there is a truth even in cases where it shall never be known? |
5117 | Does n''t it know the truth? |
5117 | Does not the word''content''suggest that the feeling has already dirempted itself as an act from its content as an object? |
5117 | Does the''aboveness''here mean aught that is different from the concrete spaces which have to be moved- through in getting from the one to the other? |
5117 | Doubtless they are, virtually; but why, as an absolute proposition, OUGHT the number to become copied and known? |
5117 | Exactly what do we MEAN by saying that we here know the tigers? |
5117 | For this is also the way in which we should know the tiger if our conceptual idea of him were to terminate by having led us to his lair? |
5117 | Have our opponents any better brand of truth in this real universe of ours that they can show us? |
5117 | How CAN it be copied in the solidity of its objective fulness? |
5117 | How can my acknowledgment of it be made true by the acknowledgment''s own effects? |
5117 | How can so ingenious- minded a writer fail to see how far over the heads of the enemy all his arrows pass? |
5117 | How can you tell? |
5117 | How comes it, then, that our critics so uniformly accuse us of subjectivism, of denying the reality''s existence? |
5117 | How does the partisan of absolute reality know what this orders him to think? |
5117 | How is any heroic devotion to the ideal of truth possible under such paltry conditions?'' |
5117 | How is the world made different for me by my conceiving an opinion of mine under the concept''true''? |
5117 | How will he represent the knowing in advance? |
5117 | How will the truth be realized? |
5117 | If I tell you how to get to the railroad station, do n''t I implicitly introduce you to the WHAT, to the being and nature of that edifice? |
5117 | If our critics have any definite idea of a truth more objectively grounded than the kind we propose, why do they not show it more articulately? |
5117 | If such near friends disagree, what can I hope from remoter ones, and what from unfriendly critics? |
5117 | If the idea led us nowhere, or FROM that object instead of towards it, could we talk at all of its having any cognitive quality? |
5117 | If they would only follow the pragmatic method and ask:''What is truth KNOWN- AS? |
5117 | If we said nothing in any degree new, why was our meaning so desperately hard to catch? |
5117 | If what he have in mind be not MY body, why call we it a body at all? |
5117 | Is anything being permanently bought by all this suffering? |
5117 | Is it as independent of the knower as you suppose? |
5117 | Is it compatible with fact number two? |
5117 | Is it not time to repeat what Lotze said of substances, that to act like one is to be one? |
5117 | Is life worth while at all? |
5117 | Is n''t it clear that not the satisfaction which it gives, but the relation of the belief TO THE REALITY is all that makes it true? |
5117 | Is n''t it enough to say that it is true that the facts are so- and- so, and false that they are otherwise? |
5117 | Is n''t your truth, after all, simply what any successful knower would have to know in case he existed? |
5117 | Is the present candidate for belief perhaps contradicted by principle number one? |
5117 | Is there a superhuman consciousness of which our minds are parts, and from which inspiration and help may come? |
5117 | Is there a truth, or is there not a truth, in cases where at any rate it never comes to be known? |
5117 | Is there any general meaning in all this cosmic weather? |
5117 | Must not something end by supporting itself? |
5117 | Now what justifies my critic in being as lenient as this? |
5117 | Of what stuff, mental, physical, or''epistemological,''is it built? |
5117 | Of what use to him would an imperfect second edition of himself in the new comer''s interior be? |
5117 | On the other hand who can say that it is TRUE, for who can lay his hand on that object and show that it and nothing else is what I MEAN by my word? |
5117 | Or is the prudence something by itself and independent of them? |
5117 | Or to take M. Hebert''s example, what is THE true idea of a picture which you possess? |
5117 | Or would the thoughts be true if they had no associative or impulsive tendencies? |
5117 | Pragmatist:--Why do you ask me such a question? |
5117 | Some persons will immediately cry out,''How CAN a reality resemble a feeling?'' |
5117 | Suppose I say to you''The thing exists''--is that true or not? |
5117 | Suppose there were no such reality, and that the satisfactions yet remained: would they not then effectively work falsehood? |
5117 | The definition claims to be exact and adequate, does n''t it? |
5117 | The experiences of tendency are sufficient to act upon-- what more could we have DONE at those moments even if the later verification comes complete? |
5117 | The opponent here will ask:''Has not the knowing of truth any substantive value on its own account, apart from the collateral advantages it may bring? |
5117 | The work What is Reality? |
5117 | Then it can be substituted for the word-- since the two are identical-- can''t it? |
5117 | Then two words with the same definition can be substituted for one another, n''est-- ce pas? |
5117 | Through what can our several minds commune? |
5117 | To what effect? |
5117 | Was it given because I was a man of tender heart, etc., etc.? |
5117 | We are not to ask,''How is self- transcendence possible?'' |
5117 | We are only to ask,''How comes it that common sense has assigned a number of cases in which it is assumed not only to be possible but actual? |
5117 | Were they explicitly seven, explicitly bear- like, before the human witness came? |
5117 | What a word means is expressed by its definition, is n''t it? |
5117 | What can save us at all and prevent us from flying asunder into a chaos of mutually repellent solipsisms? |
5117 | What does its existence stand for in the way of concrete goods?'' |
5117 | What experiences[ may] be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? |
5117 | What is it indeed? |
5117 | What is it that is satisfactory here? |
5117 | What is the matter which he utters? |
5117 | What is the meaning of the word to''correspond''? |
5117 | What is the nominal essence of this relation, its logical definition, whether or not it be''objectively''attainable by mortals? |
5117 | What is the pointing known- as, here? |
5117 | What is the precise fact that the cognition so confidently claimed is KNOWN- AS, to use Shadworth Hodgson''s inelegant but valuable form of words? |
5117 | What is the shape of it in this third estate? |
5117 | What is there, on the present supposition? |
5117 | What meaning, indeed, can an idea''s truth have save its power of adapting us either mentally or physically to a reality? |
5117 | What metaphysical region of reality does it inhabit? |
5117 | What now do we mean by''knowing''such a sort of object as this? |
5117 | What represents it? |
5117 | What sort of things are''determinations,''and what is meant in this particular case by''not to make''? |
5117 | What then remains for you to make your truth of? |
5117 | What will he hope it to be? |
5117 | What would it practically result in for US, were it true? |
5117 | What would the self- transcendency affirmed to exist in advance of all experiential mediation or termination, be KNOWN- AS? |
5117 | What, exactly, in a system of experiences, does the''substitution''of one of them for another mean? |
5117 | What, in short, is the truth''s cash- value in experiential terms?" |
5117 | What, now, he asks, can make those ideas true of that reality? |
5117 | When a common man says that his will is free, what does he mean? |
5117 | When our ideas have worked so as to bring us flat up against the object, NEXT to it,''is our relation to it then ambulatory or saltatory?'' |
5117 | When the whole universe seems only to be making itself valid and to be still incomplete( else why its ceaseless changing?) |
5117 | Where is the''being''? |
5117 | Where is there any contradiction? |
5117 | Which side is right here, who can say? |
5117 | Whose is THE true idea of the absolute? |
5117 | Why insist that knowing is a static relation out of time when it practically seems so much a function of our active life? |
5117 | Why may not thought''s mission be to increase and elevate, rather than simply to imitate and reduplicate, existence? |
5117 | Why need he quarrel with an account of knowledge that insists on naming this effect? |
5117 | Why not talk of results by themselves, then, without considering means? |
5117 | Why not treat the working of the idea from next to next as the essence of its self- transcendency? |
5117 | Why should anywhere the world be absolutely fixed and finished? |
5117 | Why should it not be making itself valid like everything else? |
5117 | Why should not YOU also find the same belief satisfactory? |
5117 | Why should the universe, existing in itself, also exist in copies? |
5117 | Why should we not equally trust the truth of our ideas? |
5117 | Would any one regard her as a full equivalent? |
5117 | [ Footnote: If A enters and B exclaims,''Did n''t you see my brother on the stairs?'' |
5117 | [ Footnote: This statement is probably excessively obscure to any one who has not read my two articles''Does Consciousness Exist?'' |

5117 | where? |
5117 | why, of all things, should knowing be exempt? |
26659 | What do you think{ 31} of yourself? 26659 ), what is that also but a synthesis,--a synthesis of a passive perception with a certain tendency to reaction? 26659 --''Was fang''ich an?'' 26659 After all, though, you will say, Why such an ado about a matter concerning which, however we may theoretically differ, we all practically agree? 26659 After all, what accounts do the nether- most bounds of the universe owe to me? 26659 And by what, forsooth, is the supreme wisdom of this passion warranted? 26659 And can we not ourselves sympathize with his mood in some degree? 26659 And could paradise properly be good in the absence of a sentient principle by which the goodness was perceived? 26659 And if needs of ours outrun the visible universe, why_ may_ not that be a sign that an invisible universe is there? 26659 And if we should not then be warranted in believing it, how can we be so now? |
26659 | And is any one entitled to say in advance, that, while the one form of faith shall be crowned with success, the other is certainly doomed to fail? |
26659 | And is not its instinct right? |
26659 | And our poor friend, James Thomson, similarly writes:--"Who is most wretched in this dolorous place? |
26659 | And shall it be given before they are given? |
26659 | And so do you not equally exclude them from the being which it now maintains as its own? |
26659 | And where everything else must be contented with its part in the universe, shall the theorizing faculty ride rough- shod over the whole? |
26659 | And, after all, is not this duty of neutrality where only our inner interests would lead us to believe, the most ridiculous of commands? |
26659 | Any philosophy which makes such questions as, What is the ideal type of humanity? |
26659 | Are not all sense and all emotion at bottom but turbid and perplexed modes of what in its clarified shape is intelligent cognition? |
26659 | Are not simple conception and prevision subjective ends pure and simple? |
26659 | Are our moral preferences true or false, or are they only odd biological phenomena, making things good or bad for_ us_, but in themselves indifferent? |
26659 | Are there real logically indeterminate possibilities which forbid there being any equivalent for the happening of it all but the happening itself? |
26659 | Are they not all of them_ kinds_ of things already here and based in the existing frame of nature? |
26659 | Are they not one and all like the Divinity Avenue and Oxford Street of our example? |
26659 | Are we then so soon to fall back into the pessimism from which we thought we had emerged? |
26659 | At bottom, what have you to lose? |
26659 | But can we think of such a sum? |
26659 | But does not this immediately bring us into a curious logical predicament? |
26659 | But how is the reasoning done? |
26659 | But how then about the judgments of regret themselves? |
26659 | But if a pyrrhonistic sceptic asks us_ how we know_ all this, can our logic find a reply? |
26659 | But if they are a sufficient condition, why did not the Phoenicians outstrip the Greeks in intelligence? |
26659 | But if this be so, is it not clear that the facts_ M_, taken_ per se_, are inadequate to justify a conclusion either way in advance of my action? |
26659 | But if this be true of the individuals in the community, how can it be false of the community as a whole? |
26659 | But is it a sufficient condition? |
26659 | But looking outwardly at these universes, can you say which is the impossible and accidental one, and which the rational and necessary one? |
26659 | But now I ask, Can that which is the ground of rationality in all else be itself properly called rational? |
26659 | But now what particular consciousness in the universe_ can_ enjoy this prerogative of obliging others to conform to a rule which it lays down? |
26659 | But now, since we are all such absolutists by instinct, what in our quality of students of philosophy ought we to do about the fact? |
26659 | But still the theoretic question{ 194} would remain, What is the ground of the obligation, even here? |
26659 | But suppose this rational conception attained, how is the philosopher to recognize it for what it is, and not let it slip through ignorance? |
26659 | But take out the geniuses, or alter their idiosyncrasies, and what increasing uniformities will the environment show? |
26659 | But what can you drive through space except what is itself spatial? |
26659 | But what constitutes this singleness of fact, this unity? |
26659 | But what in a purely physical universe demands the production of that other fact? |
26659 | But what is the use of being a genius, unless_ with the same scientific evidence_ as other men, one can reach more truth than they? |
26659 | But which are the humanly important ones, those most worthy to arouse our interest,--the large distinctions or the small? |
26659 | But who can doubt that if he had certain other qualities which he has not yet shown, his influence would have been still more decisive? |
26659 | But who does not see the wretched insufficiency of this so- called objective testimony on both sides? |
26659 | But why talk of residuum? |
26659 | But will our faith in the unseen world similarly verify itself? |
26659 | But---- What escapes, WHAT escapes? |
26659 | By what signs should we be able to discover that its existence had terminated? |
26659 | Can murders and treacheries, considered as mere outward happenings, or motions of matter, be bad without any one to feel their badness? |
26659 | Can no vision of it forestall the facts of it, or know from some fractions the others before the others have arrived? |
26659 | Can our will either help or hinder our intellect in its perceptions of truth? |
26659 | Can they possibly form a result to which our godlike powers of insight shall be judged merely subservient? |
26659 | Can we define the tests of rationality which these parts of our nature would use? |
26659 | Can we gain no anticipatory assurance that what is to come will have no strangeness? |
26659 | Can we realize for an instant what a cross- section of all existence at a definite point of time would be? |
26659 | Can we wonder if those bred in the rugged and manly school of science should feel like spewing such subjectivism out of their mouths? |
26659 | Can you imagine one position in space trying to get into the place of another position and having to be''contradicted''by that other? |
26659 | Can you imagine your thought of an object trying to dispossess the real object from its being, and so being negated by it? |
26659 | Do I, reader, negate you? |
26659 | Do n''t you see the difference, do n''t you see the identity? |
26659 | Do not the unity of its wholeness and the diversity of its parts stand in patent contradiction? |
26659 | Do the horse- cars jingling outside negate me writing in this room? |
26659 | Do they not in fact demand to be_ understood_ by us still more than to be reacted on? |
26659 | Do you not in determining the milk to be this pint exclude it forever from the chance of being those gallons, frustrate it from{ 288} expansion? |
26659 | Does an omelet appear whenever three eggs are broken? |
26659 | Does it essentially differ from the spirit of religion? |
26659 | Does it not both unite and divide things; and but for this strange and irreconcilable activity, would it be at all? |
26659 | Does it not leave the fate of the universe at the mercy of the chance- possibilities, and so far insecure? |
26659 | Does it not seem preposterous on the very face of it to talk of our opinions being modifiable at will? |
26659 | Does it not, in short, deny the craving of our nature for an ultimate peace behind all tempests, for a blue zenith above all clouds? |
26659 | Does not the admission of such an unguaranteed chance or freedom preclude utterly the notion of a Providence governing the world? |
26659 | Dupery for dupery, what proof is there that dupery through hope is so much worse than dupery through fear? |
26659 | Everything can become the subject of criticism-- how criticise without something_ to_ criticise? |
26659 | First of all, what is the position of him who seeks an ethical philosophy? |
26659 | For him, as for Darwin, the only problem is, these data being given, How does the environment affect them, and how do they affect the environment? |
26659 | For what are the alternatives which, in point of fact, offer themselves to human volition? |
26659 | Good for the production of another physical fact, do you say? |
26659 | Good for what? |
26659 | Goods and ills are created by judgment?, 189. |
26659 | Have you not now made life worth living on these terms? |
26659 | How can one physical fact, considered simply as a physical fact, be''better''than another? |
26659 | How can we exclude from the cognition of a truth a faith which is involved in the creation of the truth? |
26659 | How can your pure intellect decide? |
26659 | How reconcile with life one bent on suicide? |
26659 | I will not dispute the theory; but I will ask, Why did they not gain it? |
26659 | If God be good, how came he to create-- or, if he did not create, how comes he to permit-- the devil? |
26659 | If I characterized Hegel''s own mood as_ hubris_, the insolence of excess, what shall I say of the mood he ascribes to being? |
26659 | If it was n''t_ going_, why should you hold on to it? |
26659 | If perfection be the principle, how comes there any imperfection here? |
26659 | If they are fated to be error, does not the bat''s wing of irrationality still cast its shadow over the world? |
26659 | If, not stopping at the explanation of social progress as due to the great man, we go back a step, and ask, Whence comes the great man? |
26659 | If, on the other hand, I rightly assume the universe to be not moral, in what does my verification consist? |
26659 | Incoherence itself, may it not be the very sort of coherence I require? |
26659 | Is any one ever tempted to produce an_ absolute_ accident, something utterly irrelevant to the rest of the world? |
26659 | Is friction other than a kind of lubrication? |
26659 | Is his origin supernatural? |
26659 | Is it not sheer dogmatic folly to say that our inner interests can have no real connection with the forces that the hidden world may contain? |
26659 | Is not all experience just the eating of the fruit of the tree of_ knowledge_ of good and evil, and nothing more? |
26659 | Is not jolt passage? |
26659 | Is not my knowing them at all a gift and not a right? |
26659 | Is not the sum of your actual experience taken at this moment and impartially added together an utter chaos? |
26659 | Is not, however, the timeless mind rather a gratuitous fiction? |
26659 | Is the word to carry with it license to define in detail an invisible world, and to anathematize and excommunicate those whose trust is different? |
26659 | Is there any one of our functions exempted from the common lot of liability to excess? |
26659 | Is there no substitute, in short, for life but the living itself in all its long- drawn weary length and breadth and thickness? |
26659 | Is this a moral universe?--what does the problem mean? |
26659 | Is what unity there is in the world{ 270} mainly derived from the fact that the world is_ in_ space and time and''partakes''of them? |
26659 | It can not then be said that the question, Is this a moral world? |
26659 | Let me transcribe a few sentences: What''s mistake but a kind of take? |
26659 | May not this be all wrong? |
26659 | Now, can science be called in to tell us which of these two point- blank contradicters of each other is right? |
26659 | Now, when I speak of trusting our religious demands, just what do I mean by''trusting''? |
26659 | Objective evidence and certitude are doubtless very fine ideals to play with, but where on this moonlit and dream- visited planet are they found? |
26659 | Or might the substitute arise at''Stratford- atte- Bowe''? |
26659 | Or shall we treat it as a weakness of our nature from which we must free ourselves, if we can? |
26659 | Ought it not, for its own sole sake, to be satisfied? |
26659 | Shall we espouse and indorse it? |
26659 | Shall we then say that the feeling of rationality is constituted merely by the absence{ 64} of any feeling of irrationality? |
26659 | Shall we then simply proclaim our own ideals as the lawgiving ones? |
26659 | Should we not have as much reason to believe that it still existed as we now have? |
26659 | So of the unintelligibilities: call them means of intelligibility, and what further do you require? |
26659 | Suppose there is a social equilibrium fated to be, whose is it to be,--that of your preference, or mine? |
26659 | The germinal question concerning things brought for the first time before consciousness is not the theoretic''What is that?'' |

26659 | Why does he believe in primordial units of''mind- stuff''on evidence which would seem quite worthless to Professor Bain? |
26659 | Why does the painting of any paradise or Utopia, in heaven or on earth, awaken such yawnings for nirvana and escape? |
26659 | Why does the_ AEsthetik_ of every German philosopher appear to the artist an abomination of desolation? |
26659 | Why duplicate it by the tedious unrolling, inch by inch, of the foredone reality? |

26659 | Why? |
26659 | Why_ may_ not the former one be prophetic, too? |
26659 | Will Mr. Allen seriously say that this is all human folly, and tweedledum and tweedledee? |
26659 | Without the_ same_ as a basis, how could strife occur? |
26659 | Would England have to- day the''imperial''ideal which she now has, if a certain boy named Bob Clive had shot himself, as he tried to do, at Madras? |
26659 | Would he not cut himself off from that particular angel- possibility as decisively as if he went and married some one else? |
26659 | [ 3] Can not the breaks, the jolts, the margin of foreignness, be exorcised from other things and leave them unitary like the space they fill? |
26659 | [ 4] Now for the question I asked above: What kind of a being would God be if he did exist? |

26659 | dost thou not see it to be one nest of incompatibilities? |
26659 | is it anything but a peculiar sort of transparency? |
26659 | one now hears the positivist contemptuously exclaim;"what use can a scientific life have for maybes?" |

621 | ( 118) Our great American revivalist Finney writes:I said to myself:''What is this? |
621 | ( 202) Well, what were its good fruits for Margaret Mary''s life? 621 Heavens, how can I speak of it? |
621 | How are we to conceive,Principal Caird writes,"of the reality in which all intelligence rests?" |
621 | How does it work when we thus anticipate God by going our own way? 621 I then closed my eyes for a few minutes, and seemed to be refreshed with sleep; and when I awoke, the first inquiry was, Where is my God? |
621 | Is there, then,our author continues,"no solution of the contradiction between the ideal and the actual? |
621 | It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?--deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
621 | She burst out weeping, and said,''O Richard, what made you fight?'' 621 The spiritual life,"he writes,"justifies itself to those who live it; but what can we say to those who do not understand? |
621 | What for? |
621 | What is the answer which Jesus sends to John the Baptist? |
621 | What shall I think of it? |
621 | Wherefore? |
621 | ''And where shall I do that, Lord?'' |
621 | ''But,''said I,''is that possible?'' |
621 | ''Some one ought to do it, but why should I?'' |
621 | ''Some one ought to do it, so why not I?'' |
621 | ''What is it that is finished?'' |
621 | ''Why,''I asked of myself,''does the author use these terms? |
621 | ( 328) Ought it to be assumed that in all men the mixture of religion with other elements should be identical? |

621 | --"How did I come to be? |
621 | ------------------------------------- What shall we now say of the attributes called moral? |
621 | ------------------------------------- What, now, must we ourselves think of this question? |
621 | --or shall we do so with enthusiastic assent? |
621 | ..."Why does man go out to look for a God?... |
621 | ; Brainerd''s, 212; Alline''s, 217; Oxford graduate''s, 221; Ratisbonne''s, 223; instantaneous, 227; is it a natural phenomenon? |
621 | ?_ A. |
621 | After this distinct revelation had stood for some little time before my mind, the question seemed to be put,''Will you accept it now, to- day?'' |
621 | After this, with difficulty I got to sleep; and when I awoke in the morning my first thoughts were: What has become of my happiness? |
621 | Again, are men the factors of some dream, the dream- like unsubstantiality of which they comprehend at such eventful moments? |
621 | And how should I have cried, since I was swooning with happiness within? |
621 | And if it be so, how can any possible judge or critic help being biased in favor of the religion by which his own needs are best met? |
621 | And in what form should we conceive of that"union"with it of which religious geniuses are so convinced? |
621 | And it being said to her in the going out,_ Where is thy faith? |
621 | And second, What is its importance, meaning, or significance, now that it is once here? |
621 | And second, ought we to consider the testimony true? |
621 | And what could it matter, if all propositions were practically indifferent, which of them we should agree to call true or which false? |
621 | And what had they exactly in their several individual minds, when they delivered their utterances? |
621 | And what then? |
621 | And why may not religion be a conception equally complex? |
621 | Are the men of this world right, or are the saints in possession of the deeper range of truth? |
621 | Are there not hereabouts some points of application for a renovated and revised ascetic discipline? |
621 | Are you any more prepared for heaven, or fitter to appear before the impartial bar of God, than when you first began to seek? |
621 | Are you any nearer to conversion now than when you first began? |
621 | At once I replied,''Will you take the desire away?'' |
621 | But I can not keep myself from being either crazy or an idiot; and, as things are, from whom should I ask pity? |
621 | But do you wish, Lord, that I should inclose in poor and barren words sentiments which the heart alone can understand?" |
621 | But how came I, then, to this perception of it? |
621 | But in all seriousness, can such bald animal talk as that be treated as a rational answer? |
621 | But make a mother of her, and what have you? |
621 | But now, I ask you, how can such an existential account of facts of mental history decide in one way or another upon their spiritual significance? |
621 | But the idea of him, I said, how did I ever come by the idea? |
621 | But verily, how stands it with her arguments? |
621 | But what matters it in the end whether we call such a state of mind religious or not? |
621 | But why in the name of common sense need we assume that only one such system of ideas can be true? |
621 | Can modern idealism give faith a better warrant, or must she still rely on her poor self for witness? |
621 | Can philosophy stamp a warrant of veracity upon the religious man''s sense of the divine? |
621 | Can things whose end is always dust and disappointment be the real goods which our souls require? |
621 | Can you believe it? |
621 | Did I stop to ask a single question? |
621 | Did he not love me? |
621 | Do mystical states establish the truth of those theological affections in which the saintly life has its root? |
621 | Do they deduce a new spiritual judgment from their new doctrine of existential conditions? |
621 | Do they frankly forbid us to admire the productions of genius from now onwards? |
621 | Do we accept it only in part and grudgingly, or heartily and altogether? |
621 | Do you not blush with shame at wishing that a knife should be your master? |
621 | Does God really exist? |
621 | Does it act, as well as exist? |
621 | Does it furnish any_ warrant for the truth_ of the twice- bornness and supernaturality and pantheism which it favors? |
621 | Does this temperamental origin diminish the significance of the sudden conversion when it has occurred? |
621 | Everything in me awoke and received a meaning.... Why do I look farther? |
621 | Finney, what ails you?'' |
621 | First of all, then, I ask, What does the expression"mystical states of consciousness"mean? |
621 | First, is there, under all the discrepancies of the creeds, a common nucleus to which they bear their testimony unanimously? |
621 | First, what is the nature of it? |
621 | For what seriousness can possibly remain in debating philosophic propositions that will never make an appreciable difference to us in action? |
621 | Had I not found my God and my Father? |
621 | Had he not called me? |
621 | Has he made religion universal by coercive reasoning, transformed it from a private faith into a public certainty? |
621 | Has he rescued its affirmations from obscurity and mystery? |
621 | Has science made too wide a claim? |
621 | Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?" |
621 | He came and, placing his hand upon my shoulder, said:''Do you not want to give your heart to God?'' |
621 | He then said,''Are you in pain?'' |
621 | How can I learn aught when naught I know? |
621 | How can the devotee show his loyalty better than by sensitiveness in this regard? |
621 | How do we part off mystical states from other states? |
621 | How does he exist? |
621 | How is success to be absolutely measured when there are so many environments and so many ways of looking at the adaptation? |
621 | How should you know their true nature, since one knows only what one can comprehend? |
621 | How, then, should we_ act_ on these facts? |
621 | How_ can_ you measure their worth without considering whether the God really exists who is supposed to inspire them? |
621 | I ask you, what is human life? |
621 | I asked them what place that was? |
621 | I feel the pressure of his hand, I feel something else which fills me with a serene joy; shall I dare to speak it out? |
621 | I halted but a moment, and then, with a breaking heart, I said,''Dear Jesus, can you help me?'' |
621 | I now turn to my second question: What is the objective"truth"of their content? |
621 | I say God, but why? |
621 | If I, being a wretch and damned sinner, could be redeemed by any other price, what needed the Son of God to be given? |
621 | If it did not, wherein would its superiority consist? |
621 | If one with Omnipotence, how can weariness enter the consciousness, how illness assail that indomitable spark? |
621 | If so, in what shape does it exist? |
621 | If the inner dispositions are right, we ask, what need of all this torment, this violation of the outer nature? |
621 | If the natural world is so double- faced and unhomelike, what world, what thing is real? |
621 | If we are sick souls, we require a religion of deliverance; but why think so much of deliverance, if we are healthy- minded? |
621 | If we can not explain physical light, how can we explain the light which is the truth itself? |
621 | If we were to ask the question:"What is human life''s chief concern?" |
621 | If, then, the entire work is finished, all the debt paid, what remains for me to do?'' |
621 | In other words, is the existence of so many religious types and sects and creeds regrettable? |
621 | In our own attitude, not yet abandoned, of impartial onlookers, what are we to say of this quarrel? |
621 | In the healthiest and most prosperous existence, how many links of illness, danger, and disaster are always interposed? |
621 | In the mean time while thus exercised, a thought arose in my mind, what can it mean? |
621 | In what facts does it result? |
621 | Into what definite description can these words be translated, and for what definite facts do they stand? |
621 | Is an instantaneous conversion a miracle in which God is present as he is present in no change of heart less strikingly abrupt? |
621 | Is it necessary, some of you have asked, as one example after another came before us, to be quite so fantastically good as that? |
621 | Is it not surprising that health exists at all? |
621 | Is it possible that I, in that moment, felt what some of the saints have said they always felt, the undemonstrable but irrefragable certainty of God? |
621 | Is not it a maimed happiness-- care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless expectation, the strange cozenage of a brighter to- morrow? |
621 | Is not its blessedness a fragile fiction? |
621 | Is not your joy in it a very vulgar glee, not much unlike the snicker of any rogue at his success? |
621 | Is such a"more"merely our own notion, or does it really exist? |
621 | Is the saint''s type or the strong- man''s type the more ideal? |
621 | Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death which awaits me does not undo and destroy? |
621 | May not voluntarily accepted poverty be"the strenuous life,"without the need of crushing weaker peoples? |
621 | Of what I shall do to- morrow? |
621 | Oh, happy child, what should I do? |
621 | Or how does it assist me to plan my behavior, to know that his happiness is anyhow absolutely complete? |
621 | Or is dogmatic or scholastic theology less doubted in point of fact for claiming, as it does, to be in point of right undoubtable? |
621 | Ought all men to have the same religion? |
621 | Ought it, indeed, to be assumed that the lives of all men should show identical religious elements? |
621 | Ought they to approve the same fruits and follow the same leadings? |
621 | Ought we not, whether we dig or plough or eat, to sing this hymn to God? |
621 | Pray, what specific act can I perform in order to adapt myself the better to God''s simplicity? |
621 | Religion, whatever it is, is a man''s total reaction upon life, so why not say that any total reaction upon life is a religion? |
621 | Severed like cobwebs, broken like bubbles in the sun--"Wo sind die Sorge nun und Noth Die mich noch gestern wollt''erschlaffen? |
621 | She asked always earnestly,''When shall I be perfectly thine, O my God?'' |
621 | Should we not love it; should we not feel buoyed up by the Eternal Arms?" |
621 | So what good will it do you to think all your lives,''Oh, I have done evil, I have made many mistakes''? |
621 | The mere possibility of producing milk from grass, cheese from milk, and wool from skins; who formed and planned it? |
621 | The poet says, Dear City of Cecrops; and wilt thou not say, Dear City of Zeus? |
621 | The question, What are the religious propensities? |
621 | The questions"Why?" |
621 | The subject of Saintliness left us face to face with the question, Is the sense of divine presence a sense of anything objectively true? |
621 | The whole feud revolves essentially upon two pivots: Shall the seen world or the unseen world be our chief sphere of adaptation? |
621 | Then I flung myself on the ground, and at last awoke covered with blood, calling to the two surgeons( who were frightened),''Why did you not kill me? |
621 | Then there crept in upon me so gently, so lovingly, so unmistakably, a way of escape, and what was it after all? |
621 | Then what was to me an audible voice said:''Are you willing to give up everything to the Lord?'' |
621 | There was a sincerity about this man that carried conviction with it, and I found myself saying,''I wonder if God can save_ me_?'' |
621 | These questions"Why?" |
621 | They drew the cord tight with all their strength and asked me,''Does it hurt you?'' |
621 | Thy cowl, thy shaven crown, thy chastity, thy obedience, thy poverty, thy works, thy merits? |
621 | To the believer in moralism and works, with his anxious query,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
621 | To what psychological order do they belong? |
621 | Under just what biographic conditions did the sacred writers bring forth their various contributions to the holy volume? |
621 | Under what form will this fear crush me? |
621 | Was there not a Church into which I might enter?... |
621 | We are It already; how to know It?" |
621 | Well, how is it with these fruits? |
621 | Well, what did I do? |
621 | What are we to think of all this? |
621 | What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? |
621 | What could I do? |
621 | What have I done to deserve this excess of severity? |
621 | What is he? |
621 | What is it, indeed, that keeps existence exfoliating? |
621 | What is its cash- value in terms of particular experience? |
621 | What is more injurious to others? |
621 | What is the particular truth in question_ known as_? |
621 | What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? |
621 | What may the practical fruits for life have been, of such movingly happy conversions as those we heard of? |
621 | What more have we to say now than God said from the whirlwind over two thousand five hundred years ago? |
621 | What must I do to please thee? |
621 | What single- handed man was ever on the whole as successful as Luther? |
621 | What then must the person do? |
621 | What will be the outcome of all my life? |
621 | What will be the outcome of what I do to- day? |
621 | What would happen if the final stage of the trance were reached? |
621 | When I came to him he burst into tears and said:''Richard, will you forgive me for striking you?'' |
621 | When I waked in the morning, the first thought would be, Oh, my wretched soul, what shall I do, where shall I go? |
621 | When S. had finished his prayer and was turning to sleep, the brother said,''Do you still keep up that thing?'' |
621 | When could it be evil when thou wert near? |
621 | When such a conquering optimist as Goethe can express himself in this wise, how must it be with less successful men? |
621 | When we think certain states of mind superior to others, is it ever because of what we know concerning their organic antecedents? |
621 | Whence am I? |
621 | Wherefore did I come? |
621 | Why are twice two four? |
621 | Why can I not write down the inconceivable influences, consolations, and peace which I felt interiorly? |
621 | Why do n''t you manage it somehow?" |
621 | Why does he not say"the atoning work"?'' |
621 | Why not simply leave pathological questions out? |
621 | Why regret a philosophy of evil, a mind- curer would ask us, if I can put you in possession of a life of good? |
621 | Why should I do anything? |
621 | Why should I live? |
621 | Why then not call these reactions our religion, no matter what specific character they may have? |
621 | Why would you not let me die?'' |
621 | Will you be the slave of a knife or the slave of Jesus Christ? |
621 | Would martyrs have sung in the flames for a mere inference, however inevitable it might be? |
621 | Yet he finds himself forced to write:--"What right have we to believe Nature under any obligation to do her work by means of complete minds only? |
621 | Yet how believe as the common people believe, steeped as they are in grossest superstition? |
621 | You have been seeking, praying, reforming, laboring, reading, hearing, and meditating, and what have you done by it towards your salvation? |
621 | _ Have you had any experiences which appeared providential?_ A. |
621 | _ Je m''en fiche_ is the vulgar French equivalent for our English ejaculation"Who cares?" |
621 | _ Things are wrong with them_; and"What shall I do to be clear, right, sound, whole, well?" |
621 | _ What does Religion mean to you?_ A. |
621 | _ What is your notion of sin?_ A. |
621 | _ What is your temperament?_ A. |
621 | _ What things work most strongly on your emotions?_ A. Lively songs and music; Pinafore instead of an Oratorio. |
621 | a common person says to himself about a vexed question; but in a"cranky"mind"What must I do about it?" |
621 | and in what proportion may it need to be restrained by other elements, to give the proper balance? |
621 | and must our means of adaptation in this seen world be aggressiveness or non- resistance? |
621 | and say outright that no neuropath can ever be a revealer of new truth? |
621 | and the question, What is their philosophic significance? |
621 | and"What next?" |
621 | how did it come about? |
621 | in a penny?_ she threw it away, begging pardon of God for her fault, and saying,''No, Lord, my faith is not in a penny, but in thee alone.'' |
621 | until this came:''Why do you not accept it_ now_?'' |
621 | what is its constitution, origin, and history? |
621 | what shall I do now?'' |
621 | what shall I do?'' |
621 | what shall all these do? |
621 | what shall the law of Moses avail? |
