The great steps of the past religious freedom, the abolition of torture and of slavery, the rights of the mass, self-government every real step which man has made has been made because men "theorised," because a Galileo, or a Luther, or a Calvin, or a Voltaire, Rousseau, Bentham, Spencer, Darwin, wrote and put notes of interrogation.
What analogy there exists is solely with the inward character of the people themselves, and that too profound to be theorised upon. If we search the works of the earliest composers, we find not the slightest evidence of their having been inspired by any outward agencies.
But so far as Malthus or Adam Smith theorised and, of course, their statement of facts involved a theory they were at least bound to be consistent. It is one thing to recognise the existence of facts which your theory will not explain, and to admit that it therefore requires modification. It is quite another thing to explain each set of facts in turn by theories which contradict each other.
Had he stood and theorised half the afternoon, they would willingly have sat and listened. But instead he glanced at his watch, and observed: "To me, the most important development of all was hearing the sound of a dog's bark coming from the ring.
I said, "and how do they get a living? They seem to have plenty of money. He strikes me as being Willersley, what is a drysalter? I think he's a retired drysalter." Willersley theorised while I thought of the woman and that provocative quality of dash she had displayed. The next day at lunch she and I met like old friends.
But, Mademoiselle, will you tell me at least what you intend?" "What do I intend?" she questioned. "What choice have we?" "Whenever we are asked to follow a given course, we have always the choice between two alternatives," he theorised. "We can comply, or not comply." "In the present instance I am afraid your rule is inapplicable. There is no room for any alternative. We can do nothing but wait."
Indeed, though he had often theorised about that stricken creature, he had never before fairly hunted her down, run her into her den, and fairly looked her in the face. "The fact is, Mrs Frog," said Giles Scott, coming to the rescue, "Sir Richard is anxious to know something about your affairs your family, you know, and your means of by the way, where is baby?" he said looking round the room.
Treatise after treatise has been written upon it, system has been piled upon system, learned men have theorised and wrangled about it all their lives, and successive generations have dropped into their graves, leaving the vexed question as unsettled as ever. Every now and then a body of savans or a convention of librarians wrestles with it, and perhaps votes upon it,
Philosophy had met her destruction in the busy haunts of men; there where had been the bane, Socrates' firm faith sought ever and everywhere the antidote. This simple enough yet profound and far-reaching practice of Socrates was theorised in later times as a logical method, known to us as Induction, or the discovery of universal laws or principles out of an accumulation of particular facts.
He theorised on the planetary motions, and held that the earth is fixed in the centre of the universe. He adopted the excentric and equant of Hipparchus to explain the unequal motions of the sun and moon. He adopted the epicycles and deferents which had been used by Apollonius and others to explain the retrograde motions of the planets.
