My scheme is to divide all knowledge in the first place into two grand divisions.
1. Objective—that for which a man is indebted to the external world; and
2. Subjective—that which he has acquired or may acquire by inward contemplation.
Metaphysics comes immediately, of course, under the first head—that is to say, the relations of the mind to itself;
of this Mathematics and Logic, together with Theology, are branches.I am in doubt under which head to put morality, for I cannot determine exactly in my own mind whether morality can exist independent of others, whether the idea of morality could ever have arisen in the mind of an isolated being or not.
I am rather inclined to the opinion that it is objective.
One object for which I have attempted to form an arrangement of knowledge is that I may test the amount of my own acquirements.
I shall form an extensive list of subjects on this plan, and as I acquire any one of them I shall strike it out of the list.
May the list soon get black! though at present I shall hardly be able, I am afraid, to spot the paper.
“In the mind as in the body the sign of health is unconsciousness.”
“Of our thinking it is but the upper surface that we shape into articulate thought; underneath the region of argument and conscious discourse lies the region of meditation.”
“Genius is ever a secret to itself.”
“The healthy understanding, we should say, is neither the argumentative nor the Logical, but the Intuitive, for the end of understanding is not to prove and find reasons but to know and believe”
“The ages of heroism are not ages of Moral Philosophy. Virtue, when it is philosophised of, has become aware of itself, is sickly and beginning to decline.”
Subtle wonders through mystery
Depths that cannot be discerned
Because one cannot discern them
Therefore one is forced to describe the appearance
Hesitant, like crossing a wintry river
Cautious, like fearing four neighbors
Solemn, like a guest
Loose, like ice about to melt
Genuine, like plainwood
Open, like a valley
Opaque, like muddy water
Who can be muddled yet desist
In stillness gradually become clear?
Who can be serene yet persist
In motion gradually come alive?
Be online tomorrow.
