Yes of a great delusion. We are wont in fact to imagine that by a long process of thought and reflection it is possible for us to unveil any secret we will. We deem that no department of knowledge is closed to us. Proud of his attributes as a thinking animal man has rashly sought to build up on the basis of his intellectual powers a grandiose edifice which forsooth is supposed to explain and interpret all things. He has created philosophy and attaches a serious value to the pale illusions of his senses. He has reared the monstrous Babel Tower of metaphysics on the shifting sands of his own sensations. And this Tower of Babel which is but a silly toy overshadows him withal and fills his heart with sadness.'' '. Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.
