Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Education and the Philosophical Ideal
Every ultimate fact is the first of a new series. - emerson.
T is seldom that the general reader is treated to a more genuine surprise than in meeting for the first time a statement like the following from Emer son's essay on Plato No power of genius has ever yet had the smallest success in explaining exist ence. The perfect enigma remains. These words are surprising because, until one thinks deeply, one confidently believes that the mystery of life has been solved, at least by the wise men; and when the wisest seer of our times declares that existence is still an enigma, it is naturally very startling.
