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.
