15084 | There is a relation, and a necessary relation, between the artist and his public; but what is the nature of it? |
15084 | True enough, as far as it goes; but what do we mean by expression? |

15084 | [ 21] What is a navvy and how does he live? |

15084 | as well as to the question What is fact? |
15084 | depends upon the question-- What is the relation between the artist and his audience? |

21992 | As we imagine ourselves in their places, are we ready with any glibness to talk about progress in character? |
21992 | But character, fidelity, loyalty to conscience and to God-- are we sure of progress there? |
21992 | But in such a statement one towering interrogation has been neglected: what about the interpretation of the very facts which science does present? |

21992 | If ever we are condescended to, does any assertion rise more quickly in our thought than the old cry of our boyhood,"I am as good as you are"? |
21992 | In creation are we dealing with the kind of power which in ordinary life we recognize as physical, or with the kind which we recognize as spiritual? |
21992 | Is human history like that? |
21992 | Is it all going to end as Bertrand Russell says? |
21992 | Is it not because science supplies men with power? |

21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is there anybody who can blind his eyes to the facts now? |
21992 | Or may it be there is no haven, only endless sailing on an endless sea by a ship that never will arrive? |

21992 | Suddenly he turned on me and said,"If the United States should go into a war which you regarded as unjust and wrong, what would you do?" |

21992 | [ 1] James H. Snowden: Is the World Growing Better? |
4557 | ''Who knows?'' 4557 Are you surprised to be told that human knowledge has not yet completed its whole task? |
4557 | How many new animals have we first come to know in the present age? 4557 May there not,"he asks,"many circumstances concur to one production that do not to any other in one or many ages?" |
4557 | Admirez- vous pour cela nos aieux? |
4557 | And what is the value of civilisation? |
4557 | Are combinations and recombinations to continue until by pure chance some rational self- supporting system emerges? |
4557 | Are there not ages of learning and ages of ignorance, rude ages and polite? |
4557 | But if we accept the reasonings on which the dogma of Progress is based, must we not carry them to their full conclusion? |
4557 | But in what does this happiness consist? |
4557 | But such convulsions are an undesirable method of progressing; how can they be avoided? |
4557 | But what about the minor premiss? |
4557 | But what assurance have we that they will not one day come up against impassable barriers? |
4557 | But what of the modern age in Western Europe? |
4557 | But will the new period of advance, which Bacon expected and strove to secure, be of indefinite duration? |
4557 | But will you say that the men of the tenth century were superior to the Greeks and Romans? |
4557 | Could the Epicurean theory be brought up to date? |
4557 | Do they profit and enrich themselves by the general advance of civilisation? |
4557 | Few have ever heard of these productions; how many have read them? |
4557 | Has a mysterious Deity pronounced a secret malediction against the earth? |
4557 | He asked himself, can not equality be realised in an organised state, founded on natural right? |
4557 | His lucid exposition interested every one in the abstruse problem, Is man''s freedom such as not to render grace superfluous? |
4557 | Horace''s verse, Damnosa quid non imminuit dies? |
4557 | How in a few centuries can man hope to gain the mastery over the cosmic process which has been at work for millions of years? |
4557 | If it is injurious, does it not follow that the forces on which admittedly Progress depends are leading in an undesirable direction? |
4557 | If this is the result of progressive civilisation, what is progress worth? |
4557 | Il leur manquait l''industrie et l''aisance: Est- ce vertu? |
4557 | In escaping from the illusion of finality, is it legitimate to exempt that dogma itself? |
4557 | Is Chinese civilisation mis- called, or has there been here too a progressive movement all the time, however slow? |
4557 | Is it easier to penetrate the secrets of the human heart than the secrets of nature, or will it take less time? |
4557 | Is it reasonable to suppose that a universal or cosmopolitical society of this kind will come into being; and if so, how will it be brought about? |
4557 | Is it therefore unjust that we also should suffer for the benefit of those who are to come?" |
4557 | Is such a conclusion more than a hope, unsanctioned by the data of past experience, merely one of the characteristics of the age of illumination? |
4557 | Is there development in the various species of literature and art? |
4557 | Is this unnatural conquest of nature safe or wise? |
4557 | It is the presence of man that gives its interest to the existence of other beings... Why should we not make him a common centre?... |
4557 | Later ages, he said, will go further, for"where can the perfectibility of man stop, armed with geometry and the mechanical arts and chemistry?" |
4557 | Must not it, too, submit to its own negation of finality? |
4557 | Nature has not degenerated in her other works; why should she cease to produce reasonable men? |
4557 | Or is it possible that no such condition of society may ever arrive, and that ultimately all progress may be overwhelmed by a hell of evils? |
4557 | Our civilisation, too, having reached perfection, will inevitably decline and pass away: is not this the clear lesson of history? |
4557 | Should they be obstructed, or is it wiser to let things follow their natural tendency( laisser aller les choses suivant leur pente naturelle)? |
4557 | Tantane uos generis tenuit fiducia uestri? |
4557 | The question, Can the men of to- day contend on equal terms with the illustrious ancients, or are they intellectually inferior? |
4557 | This is evidently true; and would it not seem to follow that literature is not excluded from participating in the common development of civilisation? |
4557 | WAS CIVILISATION A MISTAKE? |
4557 | Was the prospect of an arrest which might come the day after to- morrow likely to induce men to exert themselves to make provision for posterity? |
4557 | Were trees in ancient times greater than to- day? |
4557 | What Englishman or Frenchman would tolerate life as lived in ancient Rome? |
4557 | What happens when this is reached? |
4557 | What of the future? |
4557 | What was the value of the achievements of science, and the improvement of the arts of life, if life itself could not be ameliorated? |
4557 | Where should we have found them? |
4557 | Who does not prefer the age of steel, of gold, of coal, petroleum, cotton, steam, electricity, and the spectroscope?" |
4557 | Who knows that trees are precisely the same? |
4557 | Who knows whether the modern age may not prove the exception to the law which has hitherto prevailed? |
4557 | Yet what about the Greeks? |
27948 | ''Is not the blessed life precisely_ that_ life which all men desire? |
27948 | ''The poet says"Dear City of Cecrops", and shall I not say"Dear City of God"?'' |
27948 | ''What can I see in Rome,''he said,''that I can not see in Whitechapel?'' |
27948 | ''Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me: My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?'' |
27948 | ''[ 5] But, if not happier, are we nobler? |
27948 | 5:''in the grave who shall give thee thanks?'' |
27948 | And has its mind been made up in the right way? |
27948 | And if they do know what they want, have we not still the right to criticize its moral value and say''this is right''or this is wrong? |
27948 | And if we can not indicate a standard, what right have we to say that one life is any better than another? |
27948 | And now what is the cause of these exaggerated notions which so many of us have entertained? |
27948 | And ought we not to consider this before claiming, as we so often claim, that the progress of science has given us control of the forces of nature? |
27948 | And the next question is, why we should hold that any of this good is going to be realized in human life at all? |
27948 | And when you say_ that_ of any being, or any collection of beings, do you not put it pretty low down in the scale of intelligence? |
27948 | And where or by what means can we reach this save by turning inward on meditation or reflection, that is by philosophizing? |
27948 | And why? |
27948 | Are we better governed than we were? |
27948 | Are we happier? |
27948 | But does not the impression exist? |
27948 | But has it made up its mind what to do with the fortune? |
27948 | But how did Emerson find that out? |
27948 | But how is this to be done? |
27948 | But if the nature of the world is evil, what reason can I possibly have for rejoicing in its evolution? |
27948 | But is it true? |
27948 | But is that effort going to be successful? |
27948 | But is the collective wisdom of the State so immensely superior to that of the individual, and of necessity so? |
27948 | But it may still be argued that the question is not Have the civilized powers annexed large empires? |
27948 | But it was obvious that the question"Are you happy?" |
27948 | But it will be asked, what did they learn? |
27948 | But what do we mean by Progress? |
27948 | Can we possibly say so in view of the hideous imperfection round us? |
27948 | Can we stop short of the endeavour to assure ourselves beyond question or doubt that we are right in what answers we render? |
27948 | Could this harmony ever be realized? |
27948 | Did he use a canoe with a primitive pole which he had not even the sense to flatten so as to make it into a serviceable paddle? |
27948 | Did he use flint implements or fight with nothing but a bow and arrow? |
27948 | Did the breed improve during prehistoric times? |
27948 | Does it make for soul- power to be preoccupied with the cult of the dead? |
27948 | Does it not suggest that they have little faculty of reasonable intercourse with one another? |
27948 | Does not this afford a rough measure of the collective wisdom of such States as at present exist in this world? |
27948 | Does this mean that what we call the lower are only so many blundering attempts to reach the higher? |
27948 | Finally, why should we hope that this goodness is realized more and more fully as time goes on? |
27948 | First, did the breed improve during the long course of the Stone Age in Europe? |
27948 | For how can a single phase of culture criticize itself? |
27948 | For what is Government? |
27948 | Had the Greeks possessed it, who can say how far they might have gone in their applications of mathematics? |
27948 | Has progress taken place in this department? |
27948 | Have we any means of bringing the matter to the test? |
27948 | High hopes, high claims; but can they be made good, or even rationally entertained? |
27948 | How can it step out of the scales and assess its own weight? |
27948 | How did this gradual progress come about? |
27948 | How is that duty to be exercised? |
27948 | How was''the greatest of all human responsibilities'', arising from this new intercourse of races, met? |
27948 | I see everywhere progress towards organization, but then one is bound to ask on what ulterior end is this organization directed? |
27948 | In all this there was progress( was there not?) |
27948 | Is any religion better than none? |
27948 | Is increase of knowledge the absolute good or increase of happiness? |
27948 | Is it a good thing that man''s power over the forces of nature should be increased? |
27948 | Is it not over the great questions of justice and injustice, of beauty, goodness, and the like? |
27948 | Is this not involved in the language we use of it, proclaiming it practical and therefore not theoretical? |
27948 | Is this not progress, progress in wisdom, and to what else can we ascribe the advance save to Philosophy? |
27948 | Is this not the hardest? |
27948 | It is not in heaven, neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: Who shall go up for us to heaven or over the sea, and bring it unto us? |
27948 | Now in this aim, we must ask, does a man need other men and other creatures, and in what sense does he need them? |
27948 | Now what is the bearing of these somewhat scanty data on the question of progress? |
27948 | Of nothing else is Progress so intimately the essence and very being; if we ask''What progresses or evolves? |
27948 | On what principles will it be based? |
27948 | Or by''human welfare''? |
27948 | Or if it is increase of love, is it quite indifferent what we love? |
27948 | Or rather shall we not say, seeing that its eyes are unsealed and the vision therefore no dream, beholding a present-- an ever- present-- Reality? |
27948 | Or than the life of a triumphant conqueror, a Zenghis Khan or a Tamberlaine-- exultant if he has enough human heads before him? |
27948 | Or, indeed, any of these rather than the blank of Nirvana or the life of a vegetable? |
27948 | Ought I to rejoice in this discovery? |
27948 | Progress, yes, but progress towards what? |
27948 | Rather it is a new renaissance, a new effort of the human spirit, and an effort after what? |
27948 | Secondly, did the arts of life advance, so that by their aid man might establish himself more firmly in his kingdom? |
27948 | That every creature, for example, which is not a thinking man is, on the whole, a mistake? |
27948 | The life of the scientific man any better than the life of the South Sea Islander-- content if only he has enough bananas to eat? |
27948 | Thus Plato is always asking, like Robert Browning in''Rabbi Ben Ezra'',-- Now, who shall arbitrate? |
27948 | To begin with, do men know what they want to achieve by their unified life? |
27948 | To the question, What, then, ought we to do? |
27948 | To whom or to what is it good? |
27948 | Transported by such means to the Europe of that distant past, could we undertake to beat the record of those cave- men? |
27948 | Was he right or wrong? |
27948 | Was such an extension of governmental authority justifiable or inevitable? |
27948 | We have always first to ask: What kind of Government? |
27948 | Well, how stands the matter when this test is applied? |
27948 | Well, then, are we well governed at the present time? |
27948 | What are you, what am I, that either of us should set up our private intelligence against the intelligence of forty million of our fellow citizens? |
27948 | What can we within it do? |
27948 | What do we mean by progress except the successful exercise of the human will in a right direction? |
27948 | What ideal will it set forth? |
27948 | What if he uses this power, as he plainly can do, for his own undoing? |
27948 | What is Economics? |
27948 | What is it, he asks( 7 A- E), that men quarrel over most passionately when they dispute? |
27948 | What is our part, we ask, our very own part within all this? |
27948 | What is the nature of that connexion? |
27948 | What is the nature of this common life of mankind and with what is it concerned? |
27948 | What is the standard? |
27948 | What is the_ greatest_ number? |
27948 | What kind of common life will it provide or allow to its citizens? |
27948 | What other solution of the problem, indeed, is possible? |
27948 | What shall that standard be? |
