The Physical Basis of Mind and Morals (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Mind and Morals
I have tried to show in the following pages that there is no other meaning of these facts than that which we derive from phenomena; and that wisdom teaches us to waste no time In conjecture about so called ultimate reality. Our senses, however, do perceive these phenomena. Upon such knowledge alone can we base our lines of reason, memory and will. The rules of our personal and social lives must be derived from such knowledge as our brains can acquire from these phenomena. Dietzgen says there is' nothing behind phenomena except the universe. The latter being infinite can have no other infinite as its creator. Mankind persistently ignore the impor tance of the phenomena in a delusive desire to see what is behind and producing them. They look over the knowable, in an endeavor to see the unknowable; and supposing that to be a personality, like them selves, give it a subjective existence. The following pages give the author's argument for the futility of this process.
