Note 184 — ON THE WILL IN NATURE. [190]
Karl Hillebrand translation
"Potius de rebus ipsis judicare debemus, quam pro magno habere, de hominibus quid quisque senserit scire," says St. Augustine ("De civ. Dei," l. 19, c. 3). Under the present mode of proceeding, however, the philosophical lecture-room becomes a sort of rag-fair for old worn out, cast-off opinions, which are brought there every six months to be aired and beaten.
