This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: has been often insisted upon already, and need not be urged here. Here, however, let us make two remarks on method, most needful to success in the speculative sciences. I. When setting about the study of any object with a single eye to obtain a pure and scientific knowledge of it, we ought to emancipate ourselves as far as possible for the time, from all the chance impressions and notions which we may have acquired incidentally about it. Knowledge which has been got merely by chance, is never either pure or logically constructed. Its object is almost always loaded by sensational coincidences of acquisition, and usually trammelled by the personal relations, nay, distorted by the personal interests, of the observer. The insight which accident gives is indeed invaluable; but when our aim is to acquire a logical knowledge of any familiar object, or to construct or attain to the science of it, the first grand principle of method is to bring ourselves as far as possible into the position of an observer, who (while he has insight into the object), is now looking upon it for the first time, all free from prejudice and preposition, and is viewing it not in its individual features, but as far as possible panoramically, or in the totality of its attributes or phenomena. II. This done, our next grand aim ought to be to attach ourselves to its attributes or phenomena, not anyhow, nor in any order, nor as they may happen to strike us, but in the order of their importance in constituting the object, or in making the object to be what it is. More technically, analysis, as soon as it is entered upon, should be always conducted so as to violate synthesis as little as possible. It should be made to proceed by successive descents, and modest abstractions, from that primary synthetic c Books, Literary Collections~~General, Enquiry-Into-Human-Nature~~John-Gibson-Mac Vicar, 999999999, Enquiry Into Human Nature (1853), John Gibson MacVicar, 1104687453, Kessinger Publishing Company, , , , , Kessinger Publishing Company<
