The attributes, to the demonstration of which the solution of this great question is necessary, have been demonstrated, without any solution, or by means of the solution of some former writer. He rejects the Manichean system, but imputes to it an absurdity, from which, amidst all its absurdities, it seems to be free, and adopts the system of Mr. Pope.
Hence we are not at all shocked when the poet, in the fervor of his love for mankind, determinedly imputes to himself all the sins and vices and follies of his fellow-men. We rather glory in it. This self-abasement is the seal of the authenticity of his egotism.
Origen imputes this evasion to Celsus; Jerome to Porphyry; and Lactantius to the heathen in general. The several passages which contain these testimonies will be produced in the next chapter.
III. I deny that I ever made the "philosophical pretensions" which Dr. Royce calumniously imputes to me. But, if I had made pretensions as high as the Himalayas, I deny his authority to post me publicly to act as policeman in the republic of letters and to collar me on that account.
"What your idea imputes is a criminal intrigue carried on, from day to day, amid perfect trust and sympathy, not only under your eyes, but under your father's. That's an idea it's impossible for me for a. moment to entertain." "Ah, there you are then! It's exactly what I wanted from you." "You're welcome to it!" Mrs. Assingham breathed. "You never HAVE entertained it?" Maggie pursued.
It is inconceivable that a man of Falkland's worship of honor should commit so dastardly a crime, and should suffer two innocent men to pay its penalty. The facility with which Falkland allows his secretary to discover a secret which would bring him to the gallows is entirely inconsistent with the strength of mind which the author imputes to his hero.
There is another tradition which imputes to the Duke's confessor an ecclesiastic who must have had a cleaner nose for heterodoxy than most of his fellows the original rejection of the dedication by the Duke, the alteration in its wording, and the subsequent neglect of the author.
Hence, too, the phrase which imputes dirt to acres a sophistry so barefaced, that even the literal sense of it is true only in a wet season.
Schiller is careful to point out that it is all a question of appearance: the object is not really free, since freedom abides only in the supersensual world, but the practical reason imputes or lends freedom to it. Hence beauty is freedom in the appearance. In a letter of February 23, 1793, he applies his dogma to an exposition of the relation between nature and art.
Oh for the golden days of which the poets sang, when gods walked among men, fought by their side as friends! And yet.... are these old stories credible, pious, even modest? Does not my heart revolt from them? Who has shared more than I in Plato's contempt for the foul deeds, the degrading transformations, which Homer imputes to the gods of Greece? Must I believe them now?
