“One of the wisest of uninspired men has not hesitated to declare⟳ the dog a great mystery, on account of this dawning of a moral nature unaccompanied by any the least evidence of reason⟳, in whichever of the two senses we interpret⟳ the word—whether as the practical reason⟳, that is, the power of proposing an ultimate end⟳, the determinability of the Will by ideas; or as the sciential reason⟳, that is, the faculty of concluding universal and necessary truths from particular and contingent appearances.”

“This absolute determinability of our mind⟳ by abstractions [pg 057] is one of the cardinal facts in our human constitution. Polarizing and magnetizing us as they do, we turn⟳ towards them and from them, we seek⟳ them, hold⟳ them, hate⟳ them, bless them, just as if they were so many concrete beings.”
