It was too important to be lost, and, as those who were originally attacked had ceased to be important, it was turned against the only Jewish party which still survived to oppose Christianity at the time when the gospels were written. See also p. 32. See Prolegomena to Acts, I. 62.
The best example of this method of "restatement" is probably Plutarch's De Iside et Osiride, which discusses the Egyptian myth and the various explanations given of it in accommodation to philosophic truth. Heathenism did not long survive this kind of help; nor is it surprising that it did not. See Prolegomena to Acts, i. 199-216.
Tubingen, 1808: in octavo. Paris: 1808. It contains a series of descriptions of the different styles of scenery and remarkable objects in the vast regions he had visited, portrayed with all the vigour and accuracy for which the author is distinguished. XI. De Distributione Geographicâ Plantarum secundum Coeli Temperiem et Altitudinem Montium, Prolegomena. In octavo. Paris: 1817.
Whatever Mill undertook he accomplished, often in the face of enormous difficulties. Coleridge never finished anything, and his works are a heap of fragments of the prolegomena to ambitious schemes. Mill worked his hardest from youth to age, never sparing labour or shirking difficulties or turning aside from his path.
We had first met him, as I have said, on a week-end visit to the Talbots at Oxford. It was then a question whether his health would stand the rough and tumble of politics. I recollect he came down late and looked far from robust. We traveled up to London with him, and he was reading Mr. Green's Prolegomena to Ethics, which, if I remember right, he was to review for Mind.
One is fain to ask: What right has any man to publish a scrap-book of his musings? Coleridge had the ambition to lay anew the foundations of spiritual philosophy. The Aids were but of the nature of prolegomena. For substance his philosophy went back to Locke and Hume and to the Cambridge Platonists. He had learned of Kant and Schleiermacher as well.
The Prolegomena acquaint us, that Grotius intended to expound the ancient laws of the Goths and Vandals: but unhappily death prevented his executing this design, for which no one was better qualified. Ep. 622. p. 250. Ep. 641. p. 259. Ep, 645. p. 263. Ep. 676. p. 275. Ep. 780. p. 331. Ep. 825. p. 360. Ep. 408, p. 871. Ep. 410, p. 872. Ep. 1667, p. 727.
Among his writings are Prolegomena Logica , The Limits of Demonstrative Science , Man's Conception of Eternity , Limits of Religious Thought , Philosophy of the Conditioned . He was also joint ed. of Sir. W. Hamilton's Lectures. Ecclesiastical statesman and romancist.
If their ultimate aim is to frame a science of economics which shall be part of the science not yet constituted of sociology, then I should say that what they have really done so far as they have reasoned accurately has been to frame an essential part of the prolegomena to such a science.
I recall a profoundly moving letter by the critic Garve, which is included in Kant's Prolegomena. Garve wrote an article upon The Critique of Pure Reason, and sent it to a journal at Goettingen, and the editor of the journal, in malice and animosity toward Kant, so altered it that it became an attack on the philosopher, and then published it unsigned.
