But this knowledge comes of our experience of special families, and stands us in stead no further. If we cannot classify men scientifically and reduce them under a kind of botanical order, as if they had a calculable vegetable development, neither can we gain much knowledge of them by comparison.
On this rational ordinance of phenomena, which is left standing by an imperfect nihilism, Buddhist morality is built. Rational endeavour remains possible because experience is calculable and fruitful in this one respect, that it dissolves in the presence of goodness and knowledge. Similarly in Christian ethics, the way of the cross has definite stations and a definite end.
Again, the growth of machinery makes industry more intricate. Manufacturers no longer produce for a small known market, the fluctuations of which are slight, and easily calculable. The element of speculation enters into manufacture at every pore size of market, competitors, and price are all unknown. Machinery works at random like the blind giant it is.
The essence of mechanical explanation, in fact, is to regard the future and the past as calculable functions of the present, and thus to claim that all is given. On this hypothesis, past, present and future would be open at a glance to a superhuman intellect capable of making the calculation.
I said, "Well " And he answered his own question in the pause I made. "I suppose you mean for anything she may take it into her head to do?" I put it to him that Viola's movements were not always exactly calculable. She might take it into her head to do anything. I really couldn't answer for her. "You can't," he said. "But I can. She may go off and look at a belfry or two."
"Oh if you're sure !" Mitchy simply commented. "I'm not sure, confound it!" Then for his voice had been irritated Van spoke more quietly. "Only I see her here though on his wish of course handling things quite as if they were her own and paying him a visit without, apparently, any calculable end. What's that on HIS part but a pledge?" Oh Mitchy could show off-hand that he knew what it was.
Needless to say that the things themselves remained unchanged all the while in their efficacy and mechanical succession, just as they remain unchanged in those respects when they pass for the mathematical observer into their measure or symbol; but as this reduction to mathematical form makes them calculable, so their earlier reduction to words rendered them comparable and memorable, first enabling them to figure in discourse at all.
But he helped, innocently enough, to create an enemy. As the day of her trial became more closely calculable, Diana's anticipated alarms receded with the deadening of her heart to meet the shock. She fancied she had put on proof-armour, unconscious that it was the turning of the inward flutterer to steel, which supplied her cuirass and shield.
For they are only so calculable on the basis of the given fundamental characters of the world. And that is precisely the problem: “Why do these characters exist and not quite different ones, and why should any exist at all?”
He asked for it, and to school him she consented to flatter with her recollection of his commonest words: "Dealing with subjects of this nature emotionally does, not advance us a calculable inch." 'I must have said that in relation to hard matter of business. 'It applies. There is my hostelry, and the spectral form of Danvers, utterly depaysee. Have you spoken to the poor soul?
