But the inadequacy of Agnosticism was to be seen not only on the intellectual side. Its practical effects were necessarily determined by its negations. Since we could know nothing of the ultimate power, it was plainly our wisdom to turn our attention elsewhere. It followed that, if morality was to be upheld, it must be based upon other than the familiar sanctions.
'I know whom you would say.... that crucified one. Be it so. I want not a man, but a god. 'What sort of a god, Hypatia? A god made up of our own intellectual notions, or rather of negations of them of infinity and eternity, and invisibility, and impassibility and why not of immortality, too, Hypatia?
"It will save her trouble with her clerical friends if she only knows too late for a protest." Jock understood when he saw the stipulations against religious teaching, and recognised in the Principal's name an essayist whose negations of faith had made some stir. However, he only said, "It will be rather a blow." "There are limits to all things," replied Bobus.
Here is strength too full for such negations as cruelty, as malice, or as fear; and that strength in a solemn manner proves and tests health in our own souls. It is an error to think of such things as power set up in equality against justice and right living.
Rosamond felt that she was aggrieved, and that this was what Lydgate had to recognize. As for him, the need of accommodating himself to her nature, which was inflexible in proportion to its negations, held him as with pincers. He had begun to have an alarmed foresight of her irrevocable loss of love for him, and the consequent dreariness of their life.
And so this literary revolution, of which we are speaking, brought us from frivolity to earnestness, from unbelief and all the dire negations which it engenders, to a sublime faith in human duty and the providence of God.
Michal answered not a word. "Thus all your negations are confuted, and now let us hear your affirmations. What is the name of the young man who has presumed to make you a declaration of love?" "Valentine Kalondai." The learned man no sooner heard this name than he smote violently with the palm of his hand on the volume of Macrobius lying open before him.
What if, quietly and out of sight so quietly and inconspicuously as to be unnoticed even by the people themselves their English nature, dissatisfied with negations, should have instinctively set to work in a positive direction to discover a new outlook and new ambitions?
Whatever negations of this dictum our own systems of charitable organizations may appear to offer, there can be no question but that in Russia it held and holds true. The social condition of Russia is like a tideless sea, whose sullen quiescence is broken from time to time by terrific storms which spend themselves in unavailing fury.
What had been thought secretly and individually by some of the vitalists already mentioned, but had, so to speak, cropped up only as the incidentally revealed reverse side of their negations of mechanism, Schneider attempts definitely to formulate into a theory. The list of critics might be added to, and the number of standpoints in opposition to mechanism greatly increased.
