In our next lesson the Fifth Lesson we shall endeavor to make plain to you the highest teachings of the Yogi Philosophy regarding the One Reality and the Many Manifestations the One and the Many how the One apparently becomes Many that great question and problem which lies at the bottom of the well of truth.

Emerson's earthly existence was in the estimate of his own philosophy so slight an occurrence in his career of being that his relations to the accidents of time and space seem quite secondary matters to one who has been long living in the companionship of his thought.

But the true is the object not only of conception and feeling, as in religion and of intuition, as in art but also of the thinking faculty; and this gives us the third form of the union in question philosophy. This is consequently the highest, freest, and wisest place.

Nowhere else, likewise, had all that was sound and liberal in the philosophy of the eighteenth century found such a welcome; it is from this class that the patriots of 1789 were recruited; it had furnished not only the majority of the Constituent Assembly, but again all the honest men who, from July, 1789 to the end of 1791 performed their administrative duties so disinterestedly, and with such devotion and zeal, amidst so many difficulties, dangers and disappointments.

Hurry was an expert swimmer, and tethered as he was he resorted to the very expedient that philosophy and reflection would have suggested.

This it does, though even this not always; but it does little else, even of what might be expected from erudition when enlightened by philosophy. I imagine he would have been much at a loss if he had been required to draw up a philosophical estimate of the mind of any great thinker. He never seems to look at any opinion of a philosopher in connection with the same philosopher's other opinions.

The essential similarity of all Śivaite schools is so great that coincidences even in details do not prove descent or borrowing and the special terms of Kashmirian philosophy, such as spanda and pratyabhijña, seem not to be used in the south. The Śiva-sûtras consist of three sections, describing three methods of attaining svacchanda or independence.

The doctrine of force, the belief in the German people as the salt of the earth, the self-gratification of the modern Teuton, can be traced directly to the influence of Zarathustra, and it is significant that the latest German exponent of Imperialism, General von Bernhardi, should have selected an aphorism of Nietzsche as the quintessence of his political philosophy: “War and courage have achieved more great things than the love of our neighbour.

At that time, however, reckless and undesirable methods of prevention seem to have been more prevalent than now. Michael Ryan, Philosophy of Marriage, p. 9.
