This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Such are the words of the psychologist, DuBois-Reymond, in one of
his well-known lectures. The agnostic attitude is the most seemly
that it is possible to take. Nowadays, not only have all religious
ideas been upset, but so too has everything which until now
appeared most solid, most indivisible. Who has faith any longer in
the atom? Who believes in the soul as a monad? Who believes in the
objective validity of the senses?
His negation had no reference, --far from it, --to women, to love,
or to friends, things where the pedantic and ostentatious
scepticism of literary men of the Larra type usually finds its
fodder; his nihilism was much more the confusion and discomposure
of one that explores a region well or badly, and finds no landmarks
there, no paths, and returns with a belief that even the compass is
not exact in what it shows.
