THE NEW WINE
309
Hume
is ignorant
of the
Supreme
Being , yet his
ignorance
is so naïve, that he
all
but lifted the veil
of
Isis
.
His
“
Ignorance
"
is
in
every
way equivalent
to
Berkeley's
“
God
.”
It
is
absolutely true
of
Kant
,
who
set
himself
the
question
,
“
Must
we
believe
that
Mysticism
is
like
some
vast ocean
,
the empire
of
illusion
?
"
And then
again and again answered
in
the negative
.
He
proposed
time
after
time
that
Reason
be
its
own
end
,
founded upon Right and Duty
,
and
in
the
Freedom
of
the
“
Person
,"
the
moral
sublimity
of
“
Duty
”:
It
is
not
so
much
because
it
is
subject
to
the
moral law
that
the
person
has
sublimity
,
but
because
it
gives that
law
to
itself
,
and
is
not
subject
to
it
on
any other condi
tion.2
Expressing
himself with
regard
to
the free
-
being
,
Kant says
:
“
In
him
no
act would
be
born
,
and
no
act would
perish
.”
In
other words
the
“
free
-
being
"
is
a
"
yogi
"
pure
and simple
.
Kant's
à
priori takes the place
of
Hume's
“
Ignor
ance
,”
which
we
have
seen
none other
than
Berkeley's
“
God
.”
It
is
absolutely true
of
Huxley
,
who was
as
astute
a
thinker
as Hume
:
The
succession
of
mental
states
in
ideation
is
not for
tuitous
.
Thus
the
idea
of the
word
horse
presented itself
