And there is another side to this, for the parent begins with an imperfect notion of the child's character, formed in early years or during the equinoctial gales of youth; to this he adheres, noting only the facts which suit with his pre-conception; and wherever a person fancies himself unjustly judged, he at once and finally gives up the effort to speak truth.
This very openness of welcome, the sincerity of heart in which your host stands before you, is the means whereby the traveller first learns to be dissatisfied. He has come out with his own judgment of things raying from him in all directions a very porcupine of pre-conception.
It is the philosophers we have had in this field, with their rash anticipations, with their unscientific pre-conceptions, with a pre-conception, instead of a fore-knowledge of the power they deal with, commanding results which do not, there is the point, which do not follow.
Here we have still the loose generalization, the untested affirmation, the arrogant pre-conception, the dogmatic assumption.
As a matter of fact we can hardly take in an impression at all, in the absence of a pre-conception of what impressions there may possibly be. When we talk of reality 'independent' of human thinking, then, it seems a thing very hard to find.
