22775Can we not entertain any ideas peacefully together in our consciousness?
22775Can we not look from different standpoints even on any part of the outer world?
22775Does not the explanation of the naturalist contain an entirely different element?

28163And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?
28163And may I say a word here to our Christian ministry, that splendid body of men for whom I have such supreme admiration?

28163As Jesus said:"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

21077And what share remains to it in all these phenomena, from which it seems we are endeavouring to oust it?
21077And, in fact, what does conception by itself give?
21077Are they identical?
21077Are we here making use of the argument of common opinion of mankind, of which ancient philosophy made so evident an abuse?
21077But can we subject the mental process of perception to the same purification?
21077But does it follow that every degree, every shade, every detail of sensation, even the most insignificant, has any importance for the action?
21077But how can all these laws be called physical laws without running the risk of confusing them one with the other?]
21077But how can the immense meaning of the word"mind"be realised every time that it is used?
21077But how can we conceive the transformation of this convolution into a semi- material phenomenon?
21077But how could this analysis be made?
21077But then what remains of the dualism of mind and matter?
21077But then, whence comes it that I think I feel a sensation when my sensory nerve is touched?
21077But what is identity?
21077But who can exhibit this proof to the contrary?
21077But who could make up his mind thus to shut himself up in perception?
21077But will it be asserted that it is always deceived?
21077By what means, have they long asked themselves, can that which is only extent act on that which is only thought?
21077Can any material combination be found which corresponds thereto?
21077Can it survive the death of the brain?
21077Can sensation exist as physical expression, as an object; without being illuminated by the consciousness?
21077Can the consciousness exist without having an object?
21077Can the consciousness then continue to exist?
21077Can the mind enjoy an existence independent of the brain?
21077Can we go further, and suppose one of the parts thus analysed capable of existing without the other?
21077Do not desire and consciousness together represent a something which does not belong to the physical domain and which forms the moral world?
21077Do the consciousness and its object form two things or only one?
21077Does it belong to the domain of physical or of moral things?
21077Does it develop according to laws of its own, which have no relation to the laws of brain action?
21077Does it exercise any action on the centrifugal currents which go to the motor nerves?
21077Does it exercise any action on these intra- cerebral functions?
21077Does it form a new group?
21077Does not this occur daily?
21077Does not, for instance, desire represent a complement of the consciousness?
21077Every musical ear performs this operation easily; now, this fourth sound, what else is it but the fourth term in a rule of three?
21077For is not conception the contrary of perception?
21077How can it be conceived without supposing resemblance, of which it is but a form?
21077How can we comprehend that there should issue from this convolution the material object of a perception-- for example, a plain dotted with houses?
21077How can we doubt, we say, that it exists?
21077How can we represent to ourselves this_ local_ union of matter with an immaterial principle, which, by its essence, does not exist in space?
21077How could our two perceptions be similar?
21077How could they be the same?
21077How is it that the nerve wave, if it be the depository of the whole of the physical properties perceived in the object, resembles it so little?
21077How, then, can the one be explained by the other?
21077How, then, could they experience the same sensation?
21077In what measure is it separable from the object?
21077Is it a relation of cause to effect, of genesis?
21077Is it a state of matter or of mind?
21077Is it capable of exciting a movement?
21077Is it possible to make, or at least to imagine, such an analysis?
21077Is the converse possible?
21077Is this impression now of a physical or a mental nature?
21077Is this relation constant or necessary?
21077Is what one perceives true?
21077It is said, for example: how can it be perceived that two sensations are successive, if we do not already possess the idea of time?
21077Might not this continuous existence of objects during the eclipses of our acts of consciousness, be demonstrated?
21077Now, how can we know if this act of consciousness, by adding itself to the object, modifies it and causes it to appear other than it is?
21077Once acquainted with all these possibilities of errors, how can we suppose a radical separation between the sensation and the image?
21077Or that we can consider an object under two different aspects?
21077Shall we go so far as to believe that this is an illegitimate mode of cognition?
21077Since our cognition can not go beyond sensation, shall we first recall what meaning can be given to an explanation of the inmost nature of matter?
21077Since so many divisions are possible, at which shall we stop and say: this is the one which corresponds exactly to the opposition of mind and matter?
21077This may be represented, or may be thought; but can it be realised?
21077Thus defined and slightly condensed, what is sensation?
21077Unless we accept them, how is it comprehensible that we can know anything whatever of physical nature?
21077WHAT is ELECTRICITY?
21077What are the arguments on which I rely?
21077What importance can this have, since all the difference depends on the position occupied by the excitant?
21077What is capable of representation exists as a representation, but is it true?
21077What is its action on the material phenomena of the brain which surround it?
21077What is the nature of the link between them?
21077What is the subject of cognition?
21077What is the use of the memory?
21077What is this sensation?
21077What kind of reality do physicists then allow to the displacements of matter?
21077What now remains?
21077What objections can be raised against my conclusion?
21077What relation of similarity exists between this geometrical fact and a desire, an emotion, a sensation of bitterness?
21077What would be the structure of the ear to any one who only knew it through the sense of hearing?
21077What, then, is the mind?
21077Whence comes it that a blow on the eyeball gives me a fleeting impression of light?
21077Whence comes it that a pressure on the epitrochlear nerve gives me a tingling in the hand?
21077Whence comes this singular dilemma propounded to it by nature: to create something new or perish?
21077Where are our duplicate organs of the senses, of which the one is turned inward and the other outward?
21077Where do they place them, since they recognise otherwise that the essence of matter is unknown to us?
21077Where does one see that we possess two different sources of knowledge?
21077Where, then, is that of which we are conscious?
21077Who can claim that one solution is more clear, more reasonable, or more probable than the other?
21077Why a man?
21077Why go so far afield to seek unity?
21077and is not the ideal in opposition to reality?
21077or a coincidence?
21077or is it deprived of all power of creating effect?
21077or the interaction of two distinct forces?
52090How can we define a being whose nature is absolutely unknown to us?
52090In a word, would it be absolutely impossible to teach the ape a language? 52090 What was man before the invention of words and the knowledge of language?
52090Who can be sure that the reason for man''s existence is not simply the fact that he exists?
52090; mais quel fruit, je vous prie, a- t- on retiré de leurs profondes méditations et de tous leurs ouvrages?
52090A présent, comment définirons- nous la loi naturelle?
52090Again, is it not thus, by removing cataract, or by injecting the Eustachian canal, that sight is restored to the blind, or hearing to the deaf?
52090And whence again, comes this disposition, if not from nature?
52090But how did the springs of Stahl''s machine get out of order so soon?
52090But if the causes of imbecility, insanity, etc., are not obvious, where shall we look for the causes of the diversity of all minds?
52090But is this defect so essential to the structure that it could never be remedied?
52090But is this objection, or rather this assertion, based on observation?
52090But who can say whether the solids contribute more than the fluids to this movement or vice versa?
52090But who was the first to speak?
52090But, on the other hand, what would be the use of the most excellent school, without a matrix perfectly open to the entrance and conception of ideas?
52090Car de quelles plus fortes armes pourrait- on terrasser les athées?
52090Ce qui se passe alors dans certains organes, vient- il de la nature même de ces organes?
52090Comment ceux de la machine de Stahl se sont- ils sitôt détraqués?
52090Comment peut- on définir un être do nt la nature nous est absolument inconnue?
52090Could it feel so keenly the beauties of the pictures drawn for it, unless it discovered their relations?
52090Could not the device which opens the Eustachian canal of the deaf, open that of apes?
52090Could the organism then suffice for everything?
52090D''un autre côté, l''embarras d''une explication doit- elle contrebalancer un fait?
52090De quel côté tenait- il si fort à Mrs. de Port- Royal?
52090Do you ask for further observations?
52090Does the light of reason allow us in good faith to admit such conjectures?
52090Does the result of jaundice surprise you?
52090Does this bring gain or loss?
52090En avons- nous quelqu''une qui nous convainque que l''homme seul a été éclairé d''un rayon refusé à tous les autres animaux?
52090Est- ce là ce Raion de l''Essence suprème, Que l''on nous peint si lumineux?
52090Est- ce là cet Esprit survivant à nous même?
52090Est- il sûr qu''il n''y en a point par les nerfs?
52090Et d''où nous vient encore cette disposition, si ce n''est de la nature?
52090Et pourquoi Stahl n''aurait- il pas été encore plus favorisé de la nature en qualité d''homme, qu''en qualité de chimiste et de praticien?
52090For finally, even if man alone had received a share of natural law, would he be any less a machine for that?
52090For what stronger weapons could there be with which to overthrow atheists?
52090For whence come, I ask, skill, learning, and virtue, if not from a disposition that makes us fit to become skilful, wise and virtuous?
52090Furthermore, who can be sure that the reason for man''s existence is not simply the fact that he exists?
52090Have we ever had a single experience which convinces us that man alone has been enlightened by a ray denied all other animals?
52090How can human nature be known, if we may not derive any light from an exact comparison of the structure of man and of animals?
52090How can we define a being whose nature is absolutely unknown to us?
52090If beings are but machines, why do they grant a natural law, an internal sense, a kind of dread?
52090If it is clear that these activities can not be performed without intelligence, why refuse intelligence to these animals?
52090If reason is the slave of a depraved or mad desire, how can it control the desire?
52090If there were not an internal cord which pulled the external ones, whence would come all these phenomena?
52090Ignorez- vous que telle est la teinte des humeurs, telle est celle des objets, au moins par rapport à nous, vains jouets de mille illusions?
52090In a word, would it be absolutely impossible to teach the ape a language?
52090In truth, what is the use of writing a ponderous volume to prove a doctrine which became an axiom three thousand years ago?
52090In your turn, observe the polyp of Trembley:{52} does it not contain in itself the causes which bring about regeneration?
52090Is not this a clear inconsistency in the partisans of the simplicity of the mind?
52090Is the circulation too quick?
52090Is the soul too much excited?
52090L''organisation suffirait- elle donc a tout?
52090La circulation se fait- elle avec trop de vitesse?
52090La meilleure volonté d''un amant épuisé, les plus violents désirs lui rendront- ils sa vigueur perdue?
52090La même mécanique, qui ouvre le canal d''Eustachi dans les sourds, ne pourrait- il le déboucher dans les singes?
52090Le mouvement semble- t- il perdu sans ressource?
52090Lequel l''emporte, de la perte ou du gain?
52090Luzac sums up the preceding facts by saying:"Here are a great many facts, but what is it they prove?
52090Mais aussi quel serait le fruit de la plus excellente école, sans une matrice parfaitement ouverte à l''entrée ou à la conception des idées?
52090Mais ce vice est- il tellement de conformation, qu''on n''y puisse apporter aucun remède?
52090Mais cette objection, ou plutôt cette assertion est- elle fondée sur l''expérience, sans laquelle un philosophe peut tout rejeter?
52090Mais quel plus grand ridicule que celui de notre auteur?
52090Mais qui a parlé le premier?
52090Mais qui peut dire si les solides contribuent à ce jeu, plus que les fluides, et vice versa?
52090Merely an obstruction in the spleen, in the liver, an impediment in the portal vein?
52090N''est ce pas encore ainsi qu''en abattant la cataracte, ou en injectant le canal d''Eustachi, on rend la vue aux aveugles, et l''ouie aux sourds?
52090N''est- ce pas machinalement que le corps se retire, frappé de terreur à l''aspect d''un précipice inattendu?
52090N''est- ce pas une contradiction manifeste dans les partisans de la simplicité de l''esprit?
52090Now how shall we define natural law?
52090Pourquoi cela, si ce n''est par un vice des organes de la parole?
52090Pourquoi donc l''éducation des singes serait- elle impossible?
52090Pourquoi donc n''estimerais- je pas autant ceux qui ont des qualités naturelles, que ceux qui brillent par des vertus acquises, et comme d''emprunt?
52090Pourquoi la vue ou la simple idée d''une belle femme nous cause- t- elle des mouvements et des désirs singuliers?
52090Pourquoi ne pourrait- il enfin, à force de soins, imiter, à l''exemple des sourds, les mouvemens nécessaires pour prononcer?
52090Pourquoi?
52090Pourquoi?
52090Pourquoi?
52090Pourrait- elle si bien sentir les beautées des tableaux qui lui sont tracés, sans en découvrir les rapports?
52090Qu''était l''homme, avant l''invention des mots et la connaissance des langues?
52090Que dirais- je de nouveau sur ceux qui s''imaginent être transformés en loups- garous, en coqs, en vampires, qui croient que les morts les sucent?
52090Que fallait- il à Caius Julius, à Sénèque, à Pétrone pour changer leur intrépidité en pusillanimité ou en poltronnerie?
52090Que nous diraient les autres, et surtout les théologiens?
52090Que répondre en effet à un homme qui dit?
52090Que savons- nous plus de notre destinée, que de notre origine?
52090Que voit- on?
52090Quel est l''animal qui mourrait de faim au milieu d''une rivière de lait?
52090Quelle utilité, en effet, de faire un gros livre, pour prouver une doctrine qui était érigée en axiome il y a trois mille ans?
52090Qui a inventé les moyens de mettre à profit la docilité de notre organisation?
52090Qui a été le premier précepteur du genre human?
52090Qui sait d''ailleurs si la raison de l''existence de l''homme ne serait pas dans son existence même?
52090S''il est évident qu''elles ne peuvent se faire sans intelligence, pourquoi la refuser à ces animaux?
52090S''il n''y avait une corde interne qui tirât ainsi celles du dehors, d''où viendraient tous ces phénomènes?
52090Si la raison est esclave d''un sens dépravé, ou en fureur, comment peut- elle le gouverner?
52090Thus with such help of nature and art, why should not a man be more grateful, more generous, more constant in friendship, stronger in adversity?
52090Voulez vous de nouvelles observations?
52090What animal would die of hunger in the midst of a river of milk?
52090What do we see?
52090What is the reason for this, except some defect in the organs of speech?
52090What more do we know of our destiny than of our origin?
52090What was man before the invention of words and the knowledge of language?
52090What was needed to change the bravery of Caius Julius, Seneca, or Petronius into cowardice or faintheartedness?
52090What will be the consequences of this supposition?
52090Which was the side by which he was so strongly attached to Messieurs of Port Royal?
52090Who invented the means of utilizing the plasticity of our organism?
52090Who was the first teacher of the human race?
52090Why might not the monkey, by dint of great pains, at last imitate after the manner of deaf mutes, the motions necessary for pronunciation?
52090Why should I stop to speak of the man who imagines that his nose or some other member is of glass?
52090Why then should I not esteem men with good natural qualities as much as men who shine by acquired and as it were borrowed virtues?
52090Why then should the education of monkeys be impossible?
52090Why?
52090Why?
52090car enfin quand l''homme seul aurait reçu en partage la loi naturelle, en serait- il moins une machine?
52090en un mot serait- il absolument impossible d''apprendre une langue à cet animal?
52090et qu''ainsi c''est tomber dans Scilla pour vouloir éviter Caribde?
52090n''est- ce pas machinalement qu''agissent tous les sphincters de la vessie, du rectum, etc.?
