No doubt ‘‘something called” acts as a kind of caveat to the would-be sceptic, though the phrase is bad, implying a ‘‘ calling.” But we can guess what Huxley means, No doubt Buddha's scepticism does not openly go quite as far as mine—it must be remembered that ‘‘scepticism” is merely the indication of a possible attitude, not a belief, as so many good fool folk think; but Buddha not only denies ‘‘ Cogito, ergo sum"’ ; but ‘‘ Cogito, ergo nonsum.” See Sadsasava Sutta, par. 10.* At any rat…

…to progress as any quality that w e possess ; and as courage is in either case required, the courage of ignorance ( necessarily sterile, though wanted badly enough when our garden was choked by theological weeds) is less desirable than the courage which embarks on the always desperate philosophical problem. Time and again, in the history of Science, a period has arrived when, gorged with facts, she has sunk into a lethargy of reflection accompanied by appalling nightmares in the shape of impossible theories.

Coarse and violent lan- guage continues to disgrace Lear’s follower ; only Gloucester, the unconscionable ass and villain of Scene i., has a word to say in his defence. In Scene iii. we have a taste of Edgar’s quality. Had this despicable youth the con- sciousness of innocence, or even comimon courage, he had surely stood to his trial. Not he! He plays the coward…

…producing conviction.* It has one quality apparently not essential, that of ex- ceeding impermanence. If we. examine what we call steady thought, we shall find that its rate of change is in reality inconceivably swift. To consider it, to watch it, is bewildering, and to some people becomes intensely terrifying. It is as if the solid earth were suddenly swept away from under one, and there were some dread awakening in outer space amid the rush of incessant meteors—lost in the void. All this is old knowledge; but who has taken steps toalterit? Th…
