Henry Lewes (an avowed Comtean): "No army of argument, no accumulation of contempt, no historical exhibition of the fruitlessness of its effort, has sufficed to extirpate the tendency toward metaphysical speculation. Although its doctrines have become a scoff (except among the valiant few), its method still survives, still prompts to renewed research, and still misleads some men of science. In vain History points to the failure of twenty centuries; the metaphysician admits the fact, but appeals to History in proof of the persistent passion which no failure can dismay; and hence draws confidence in ultimate success. A cause which is vigorous after centuries of defeat is a cause baffled but not hopeless, beaten but not subdued. The ranks of its army may be thinned, its banners torn and mud-stained; but the indomitable energy breaks out anew, and the fight is continued."--"Problems of Life and Mind," p. 7.] [Footnote 10: "Every religion may be defined as an _à priori_ theory of the universe. The surrounding facts being given, some form of agency is alleged which, in the opinion of these alleging it, accounts for these facts.... Nay, even that which is commonly regarded as the negation of all religion--even positive Atheism, comes within the definition; for it, too, in asserting the self-existence of Space, Matter, and Motion, which it regards as adequate causes of every appearance, propounds an _à priori_ theory from which it holds the facts to be deducible."--Spencer, "First Principles," p. 43.] [Footnote 11: "Philosophy begins in wonder: he was not a bad genealogist who said that Isis, the messenger of Heaven, is the child of Thaumas (Wonder); for Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher."--Plato, "Theætetus," § 155.] [Footnote 12: Plato, "Timæus," § 9.] [Footnote 13: Büchner, "Matter and Force," pp. 1-27.] [Footnote 14: Spencer, "First Principles," pp. 235, 236.] [Footnote 15: Hegel, "Philosophy of Religion," vol. i. p. 201.] [Footnote 16: "Spiritual Philosophy of Coleridge," by Green, vol. i. pp. 1, 2.] [Footnote 17: Isaiah xliii. 13; Exod. iii. 14: "I am that I am."]
