To call that "evolutive force" which produces the change of one kind of plant or animal into another, is simple and easy, but of little help by way of explanation. To homologize it with physical force, as M. Naudin's argument requires, is indeed a step, and a hardy one; but it quite invalidates the argument.
If my brother Philip has induced that girl to make a will, as it is my belief he has, we must counter him. Come down with me to Doctors' Commons. You've a cab? Yes; the business won't take half an hour." "What business?" "A special licence for your marriage with Charlotte Halliday." "A marriage?" "Yes; her marriage invalidates her will, if she has made one, and does away with Phil's motive.
"You admit being a prestidigitator?" "Yes, but I had nothing to do with this performance." "Nevertheless, so far as conclusive proof is concerned, your presence in the circle invalidates it. Now I propose that Mrs. Smiley go to Miller's house, with no one present but Mr. and Mrs. Cameron and Mr. and Mrs. Miller.
'I thought only people like like Mary could give advice. 'Ah! your blindness about Mary invalidates your opinion of your schoolfellows. It shows that you do not deserve a good friend. 'I've got you; I want no other. 'Quite wrong. Not only is she full of clear, kind, solid sense, like a pillar to lean on, but she could go into detail with you in your troubles.
The great man or woman of the Spirit who achieves this perfect development is, it is true, a special product: a genius, comparable with great creative personalities in other walks of life. But he neither invalidates the smaller talent nor the more general tendency in which his supreme gift takes its rise. Where he appears, that tendency is vigorously stimulated.
But the failure of these sciences to give us a picture of the living world in no way invalidates their truth, or deprives them of their utility. Consider, as an example, Spinoza's psychological law freely expressed in the dictum that Paul's idea of Peter tells us more about Paul than about Peter.
"Yes, we have," answered Stoddard with business-like directness, "I have a proposition to make. As I suppose you both know I have bought up the claim of Mr. Bray, as decided by the court. That claim, of course, practically invalidates your stock since it takes away possession of the mine; but I am willing to make you a generous offer.
He had wrung our hands one after another, and now he ran out of the room. Rulledge said, in appeal to Wanhope: "I don't see how his being the dreamer invalidates the case, if his dreams affected the others." "Well," Wanhope answered, thoughtfully, "that depends." "And what do you think of its being the girl in the stateroom?" "That would be very interesting."
"Well, there is a certain virtue in knotting a silk thread, for the reason that it is almost impossible to untie, even in the light, and to break it, we will agree, invalidates the sitting. For to-night we will use the thread. Miller, will you watch me?" "With the greatest pleasure in the world," he answered, "and as a scientist I am going to treat you as a possible confederate." "Very good.
It is this curious oppositeness of direction between the order of causation as affirmed by physics, and the order of evidence as revealed by theory of knowledge, that causes the most serious perplexities in regard to the nature of physical reality. Anything that invalidates our seeing, as a source of knowledge concerning physical reality, invalidates also the whole of physics and physiology.
