[6] See analysis. [7] Asiatic systems of Education have this basis (see § 178 of the original). [8] The definition of freedom here implied is this: Mind is free when it knows itself and wills its own laws. [9] Perhaps, however slow the growth, there is real progress in liberating the imprisoned soul (?) [10] "When me they fly, I am the wings."——_Emerson._ [11] The story of Peter Schlemihl, by Chamisso, may be read in the English translation published in "Hedge's German Prose Writers." [12] That is, punishment is retributive and not corrective. Justice requires that each man shall have the fruits of his own deeds; in this it assumes that each and every man is free and self-determined. It proposes to treat each man as free, and as the rightful owner of his deed and its consequences. If he does a deed which is destructive to human rights, it shall destroy his rights and deprive him of property, personal freedom, or even of life. But corrective punishment assumes immaturity of development and consequent lack of freedom. It belongs to the period of nurture, and not to the period of maturity. The tendency in our schools is, however, to displace the forms of mere corrective punishment (corporal chastisement), and to substitute for them forms founded on retribution——_e. g_, deprivation of privileges. See secs. 42 and 43. [13] Faust; Part I., Scene I. "How all weaves itself into the Whole! Each works and lives in the other! How the heavenly influences ascend and descend, and reach each other the golden buckets!" [14] Hume, in his famous sketch of the Human Understanding, makes all the perceptions of the human mind resolve themselves into two distinct kinds: _impressions_ and _ideas_. "The difference between them consists in the degrees of force and liveliness with which they strike upon the mind, and make their way into our thought and consciousness. Those perceptions which enter with the most force and violence we may name _impressions_, and under this name include all our sensations, passions, and emotions, as they make their first appearance in the soul. By _ideas_, I mean the faint images of these in thinking and reasoning." "The identity which we ascribe to the mind of man is only a fictitious one."
