Thus the flights of the imagination will start from a higher plane henceforth, and the intelligence will be directed into its natural channels of creation. =Truth is also the basis of artistic imagination=. The work of the intelligence is not limited to the exact observation and the simple, logical reasoning upon which great scientific discoveries may be founded.

And we have noted also that the method of the artist in narrative is to select events which bear an essential logical relation to each other and then to arrange them along the lines of a pattern of causation. =Unity in Narrative.= Of course the prime structural necessity in narrative, as indeed in every method of discourse, is unity.

With that the whole world became a welter of conflict. So that a universal social collapse followed, as it were a logical consequence, upon world-wide war. Wherever there were great populations, great masses of people found themselves without work, without money, and unable to get food. Famine was in every working-class quarter in the world within three weeks of the beginning of the war.

There might be logical causes, buried obscurely under remote events, for everything that had transpired. He conceded that point. But he could not establish any association; he could not trace out the chain; and he revolted against the common assumption that all things, no matter how mysterious, work out ultimately for some common good.

"Can you deny it?" he demanded. "Can you find any sane, logical reason for the continuance of life which is to end in utter extinction, or for the creation of worlds doomed to eternal destruction?" No one spoke. "You have no answer ready," he said and smiled "Naturally! For an answer is impossible!

Modern apologists for usury, knowing that money is unproductive itself, call it a tool for production, and as it can be readily transformed into any tool, they try to avoid the logical conclusion that the taking of interest on money is unjust and oppressive to the producer. But no tool is productive. All tools are but the reaching out of man for the better control and mastery of material things.

The good humor of her irony flattered him because it implied that she offered him a chance to cultivate her he was not at all sure how much or how little that might mean regardless of his political affiliations. Not many women were logical enough to accept so impersonally his opposition to the candidacy of an uncle and the plans of a father.

Possibly ennui prompted this willful bit of womanhood to make a plaything of that picturesque child of nature, just as loneliness caused him to open his eyes to the existence of that, which in the logical and ordinary course of events, he would have entirely overlooked.

He early devoted himself to dialectics, to all the arts of intellectual gladiatorship, to all the sports of logical tournaments which were held in such value by the awakened spirits of the new civilization. Such was Abélard's precocious ability, even as a youth, that no champion could be found to refute him in the whole of Brittany.

Old definitions, it is true, cannot prevail against new knowledge: and if the Keplerian operation, as a logical process, were really identical with what takes place in acknowledged induction, the definition of induction ought to be so widened as to take it in; since scientific language ought to adapt itself to the true relations which subsist between the things it is employed to designate.
