4557How in a few centuries can man hope to gain the mastery over the cosmic process which has been at work for millions of years?

279485:''in the grave who shall give thee thanks?''
27948And has its mind been made up in the right way?
27948And if they do know what they want, have we not still the right to criticize its moral value and say''this is right''or this is wrong?
27948And if we can not indicate a standard, what right have we to say that one life is any better than another?
27948And now what is the cause of these exaggerated notions which so many of us have entertained?
27948And ought we not to consider this before claiming, as we so often claim, that the progress of science has given us control of the forces of nature?
27948And the next question is, why we should hold that any of this good is going to be realized in human life at all?
27948And when you say_ that_ of any being, or any collection of beings, do you not put it pretty low down in the scale of intelligence?
27948And where or by what means can we reach this save by turning inward on meditation or reflection, that is by philosophizing?
27948And why?
27948Are we better governed than we were?
27948Are we happier?
27948But does not the impression exist?
27948But has it made up its mind what to do with the fortune?
27948But how did Emerson find that out?
27948But how is this to be done?
27948But if the nature of the world is evil, what reason can I possibly have for rejoicing in its evolution?
27948But is it true?
27948But is that effort going to be successful?
27948But is the collective wisdom of the State so immensely superior to that of the individual, and of necessity so?
27948But it may still be argued that the question is not Have the civilized powers annexed large empires?
27948But it was obvious that the question"Are you happy?"
27948But it will be asked, what did they learn?
27948But what do we mean by Progress?
27948Can we possibly say so in view of the hideous imperfection round us?
27948Can we stop short of the endeavour to assure ourselves beyond question or doubt that we are right in what answers we render?
27948Could this harmony ever be realized?

27948Did he use flint implements or fight with nothing but a bow and arrow?
27948Did the breed improve during prehistoric times?
27948Does it make for soul- power to be preoccupied with the cult of the dead?
27948Does it not suggest that they have little faculty of reasonable intercourse with one another?
27948Does not this afford a rough measure of the collective wisdom of such States as at present exist in this world?
27948Does this mean that what we call the lower are only so many blundering attempts to reach the higher?
27948Finally, why should we hope that this goodness is realized more and more fully as time goes on?
27948First, did the breed improve during the long course of the Stone Age in Europe?

27948Had the Greeks possessed it, who can say how far they might have gone in their applications of mathematics?
27948Has progress taken place in this department?
27948Have we any means of bringing the matter to the test?
27948High hopes, high claims; but can they be made good, or even rationally entertained?
27948How can it step out of the scales and assess its own weight?
27948How did this gradual progress come about?
27948How is that duty to be exercised?
27948How was''the greatest of all human responsibilities'', arising from this new intercourse of races, met?
27948I see everywhere progress towards organization, but then one is bound to ask on what ulterior end is this organization directed?
27948In all this there was progress( was there not?)
27948Is any religion better than none?
27948Is increase of knowledge the absolute good or increase of happiness?
27948Is it a good thing that man''s power over the forces of nature should be increased?
27948Is it not over the great questions of justice and injustice, of beauty, goodness, and the like?
27948Is this not involved in the language we use of it, proclaiming it practical and therefore not theoretical?
27948Is this not progress, progress in wisdom, and to what else can we ascribe the advance save to Philosophy?
27948Is this not the hardest?
27948It is not in heaven, neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: Who shall go up for us to heaven or over the sea, and bring it unto us?
27948Now in this aim, we must ask, does a man need other men and other creatures, and in what sense does he need them?
27948Now what is the bearing of these somewhat scanty data on the question of progress?
27948Of nothing else is Progress so intimately the essence and very being; if we ask''What progresses or evolves?
27948On what principles will it be based?
27948Or by''human welfare''?
27948Or if it is increase of love, is it quite indifferent what we love?
27948Or rather shall we not say, seeing that its eyes are unsealed and the vision therefore no dream, beholding a present-- an ever- present-- Reality?
27948Or than the life of a triumphant conqueror, a Zenghis Khan or a Tamberlaine-- exultant if he has enough human heads before him?
27948Or, indeed, any of these rather than the blank of Nirvana or the life of a vegetable?
27948Ought I to rejoice in this discovery?
27948Progress, yes, but progress towards what?
27948Rather it is a new renaissance, a new effort of the human spirit, and an effort after what?
27948Secondly, did the arts of life advance, so that by their aid man might establish himself more firmly in his kingdom?
27948That every creature, for example, which is not a thinking man is, on the whole, a mistake?
27948The life of the scientific man any better than the life of the South Sea Islander-- content if only he has enough bananas to eat?
27948Thus Plato is always asking, like Robert Browning in''Rabbi Ben Ezra'',-- Now, who shall arbitrate?
27948To begin with, do men know what they want to achieve by their unified life?
27948To the question, What, then, ought we to do?
27948To whom or to what is it good?
27948Transported by such means to the Europe of that distant past, could we undertake to beat the record of those cave- men?
27948Was he right or wrong?
27948Was such an extension of governmental authority justifiable or inevitable?
27948We have always first to ask: What kind of Government?
27948Well, how stands the matter when this test is applied?
27948Well, then, are we well governed at the present time?

27948What was the mediaeval knight?
27948What, in the first place, do we mean by''a real advance''?

27948What, then, is the difference between a State and a political party?
27948What_ kind of State_ is it to which the individual is becoming subordinated?
27948When or how was it learnt-- was it at Oxford or at Cambridge?--that the apples of Devonshire are so specially fit for cider?
