In the next chapter I shall once more consider if it is
possible to doubt this, but for the present I
shall assume it as a truth which has held good. Under
what main aspects then, let us ask, is experience found?
We may say, speaking broadly, that there are two great
modes, perception and thought on the one side, and will
and desire on the other side. Then there is the ‘sthetic
attitude, which will not fall entirely under either of
these heads; and again there is pleasure and pain which
seem something distinct from both. Further we have
feeling, a term which we must take in two senses. It is
first the general state of the total soul not yet at all
differentiated into any of the preceding special
aspects. And again it is any particular state so far as
Internally that has undistinguished unity. Now of these
psychical modes not any one is resolvable into the
others, nor can the unity of the Whole consist in one or
another portion of them. Each of them is incomplete and
one-sided, and calls for assistance from without. We
have had to perceive this in great part already through
former discussions, but I will briefly resume and in
some points supplement that evidence here. I am about to
deal with the appearances of the Absolute mainly from
their psychical side, but a full psychological
discussion is impossible, and is hardly required. I
would ask the reader, whose views in certain ways may be
divergent from mine, not to dwell on divergencies except
so far as they affect the main result.
(1) If we consider first of all the aspect of
pleasure and pain, it is evident that this cannot be the
substance or foundation of Reality. For we cannot regard
the other elements as adjectives of, or dependents on,
this one; nor again can we, in any way or in any sense,
resolve them into it. Pleasure and pain, it is obvious,
are not the one thing real. But are they real at all, as
such, and independently of the rest? Even this we are
compelled to deny. For pleasure and pain are
antagonistic; and when in the Whole they have come
together with a balance of pleasure, can we be
even sure that this result will be pleasure as
such? There is however a far more serious objection to
the reality of pleasure and pain. For these are mere
abstractions which we separate from the pleasant and the
painful; and to suppose that they are not connected with
those states and processes, with which they are always
conjoined, would be plainly irrational. Indeed pleasure
and pain, as things by themselves, would contradict
their known character. But, if so, clearly they cannot
be real in themselves, and their reality and essence
will in part fall beyond their own limits. They are but
appearances and one-sided adjectives of the universe,
and they are real only when taken up into and merged in
that totality.
(2) From mere pleasure and pain we may pass on to
feeling, and I take feeling in the sense of the
