Página 233 - The name of Dugald Stewart is a name venerable to all Europe, and to none more dear and venerable than to ourselves. Nevertheless his writings are not a Philosophy, but a making ready for one. He does not enter on the field to till it ; he only encompasses it with fences, invites cultivators, and drives away intruders : often (fallen on evil days) he is reduced to long arguments with the passers-by, to prove that it is a field, that this so highly prized domain of his is, in truth, soil and substance,...

Already these children have got beyond their fathers,...

Locke derives the idea of infinity from the senses, describes it as purely negative, and attributes it to nothing but space, duration, and number ; Penn derived the idea from the soul, and ascribed it to truth and virtue, and God. Locke declares immortality a matter with which reason has nothing to do, and that revealed truth...

It is only to a superficial observer that the import of these discussions can seem trivial : rightly understood they give sufficient and final answer to Hartley's and Darwin's and all other possible forms of Materialism, the grand Idolatry, as we may rightly call it, by which, in all times, the true Worship, that nf the invisible, has been polluted and withstood.
