Substance, Cause, the Absoluto-infinite, Law, Duty, God lie outside the possible product of Will plus Sense. They have to be explained. It is unscientific to take these unquestionable possessions of human consciousness in the lump, and dub them "innate ideas." This is suggestive of a certain impotence of thought. Until the modus of the generation of these facts of consciousness be unfolded there can be only subjective conviction, not objective knowledge. Emphasized opinion is not science.

Duality thus constitutes the primal or elementary form of all j consciousness. We have shown how externality, as distinguished from objectivity, is gained. It may be said, of course, that outerness is, after all, only projected innerness. Again, it may be said that the inner is merely the outer--a reflex of the movement of Nature, or a moment or function in that movement, innerness being merely outerness turned back on itself by itself. Both idealistic schemes are speculatively full of interest (and there is a sense, as will appear in the sequel, in which the latter is true); but they fail to overturn the actual dualism of consciousness. There is, as a matter of fact, a diremption in the cosmic evolution. Further, that outerness and innerness, extension and consciousness, are only branches of the same trunk, different faces, rather, of the primal un...
