Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Senses and the Soul, And, Moral Sentiment in Religion: Two Essays
What we know is a point to what we do not know. The first questions are still to be asked. Let any man bestow a thought on himself, how he came hither, and whither he tends, and he will find that all the literature, all the philosophy that is on record, have done little to dull the edge of inquiry. The globe that swims so silently with us through the sea of space, has never a port, but with its little convoy of friendly orbs pursues its voyage through the signs of heaven, to renew its navigation again forever. The wonderful tidings our glasses and calendars give us concerning the hospitable lights that hang around us in the deep, do not appease but in?ame our curiosity; and, in like manner, our culture does not lead to any goal, but its richest results of thought and action are only new preparation.
