Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gadarene: Or, Spirits in Prison
The common consciousness of the race admits a standard Of moral rectitude. This is the transcendent law of humanity. Protagoras was a cunning sophist; Socrates, a philosopher. Man is the measure Of all things, said Protagoras; and, as men differ, there can be no absolute truth. Man is the measure Of all things, replied Socrates; but descend deeper into his personality, and you will find that underneath all varieties there is a ground of steady Math. Men differ, but men also agree: they differ as to what is ?eeting; they agree as to what is eternal. Difference is the region of Opinion; Agreement is the region of Truth: let us endeavor to penetrate that region.
