Excerpt from Birth and Death, as a Change of Form of Perception: Or the Dual Nature of Man The second title Of this book might, on the contrary, lead some Of my readers astray, because it suggests the idea that it concerns itself with an Old theme, namely, the demonstrating that man is composed Of matter and spirit, or Of body and soul. We have nothing to do with this thankless task, - which I call thankless, because matter and spirit are vague conceptions, capable Of different explanations, about which many prattle foolishly, but nothing sufficiently certain can be conceived Of it, to make an explanation possible. An idea or conception must have a clear tenor and fixed range; failing these qualities, it becomes a formidable source Of error, and quite useless to the thoughtful inquirer.
