Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International University Lectures, Vol. 6: Delivered by the Most Distinguished Representatives of the Greatest Universities of the World, at the Congress of Arts and Science, Universal Exposition, Saint Louis
The positive character of this first period, however, shows the transition motive to certain later dualisms: the character of animation, movement, change. In this respect, the Ionics suggest a further movement in the child's devel Opment. The immature re?ection of the individual finds, in the perception of animation and capricious movement, the road toward a solidified and concreted dualism. Through this type of re?ection the world - circle closes in somewhat upon the personal centre. It neglects the fixed, changeless, inanimate things of the world, as in so far unexistent or hypothetical. In respect to them, the senses deceive. So in the thought of Heraclitus and Parmenides the becoming or change principle played its role, and the Greek mind began its career toward a form of dualism in which the fixed was of logical or contrast value, mainly, not an objective category.
