Let us conclude then, that religious scepticism can result only from a superficial examination of theological principles, which are in perpetual contradiction with the most clear and demonstrative principles. To doubt, is to deliberate. Scepticism is only a state of indetermination, resulting from an insufficient examination of things.
No situation could be better adapted than my own for eliciting information; for, whereas most young men come to the university under circumstances of absolute determination as to the choice of their particular college, and have, therefore, no cause for search or inquiry, I, on the contrary, came thither in solitary self- dependence, and in the loosest state of indetermination.
So immediate consciousness yields the two factors of Bergsonian freedom, continuity and indetermination. Again, take the somewhat disconcerting assertion that movement exists when there is nothing that moves, and no space that it moves through. Even a more paradoxical tenet of our philosopher's finds it justification here.
From time to time, when he had drawn the waxed yarn out through the leather on both sides, he blew into his black hands. Griggs stood still and looked at him in idle indetermination, and only struggling against the power that drew him towards the stairs. "A fine north wind," observed Griggs, by way of salutation.
It cannot create absolutely, because it is confronted with matter, that is to say with the movement that is the inverse of its own. But it seizes upon this matter, which is necessity itself, and strives to introduce into it the largest possible amount of indetermination and liberty. How does it go to work?
It follows from this that the soul, in its determinations and actions, is liberated from the laws and necessities of the corporeal nature; it is a free power, a power of indetermination, capable of choice, capable of introducing new, unforeseen, and unforeseeable actions, and on this point opposes itself to corporeal phenomena, which are all subject to a determinism so rigorous that any event could be foreseen if its antecedents were known.
We have seen set forth the fact of Freedom, the recognition of human beings as centres of indetermination, not mere units in a machine, "a block universe" where all is "given," but creatures capable of creative activity.
Then suddenly, gathering shape out of the indetermination of the shadows and the moonlight, came a man into the yard, and Ellen thought with awe and delight that it was he; but instead Granville Joy stood before her, lifting his hat above his soft shock of hair. "Hullo!" he said. "Good-evening," responded Ellen, and Granville Joy felt abashed.
That is, neither one poet nor the other having, as regarded philosophy, any internal principle of gravitation or determining impulse to draw him in one direction rather than another, was left to the random control of momentary taste, accident, or caprice; and this indetermination of pure, unballasted levity both Pope and Horace mistook for a special privilege of philosophic strength.
Apart from Change there is no reality. Images as data Nerves, afferent and efferent, cannot beget images, nor can the brain give rise to representations All our perception relative to action. Denial of this involves the fallacies of Idealism or of Realism Perception and knowledge Physiological data Zone of indetermination "Pure" perception Memory and Perception.
