'Spirits are active, indivisible substances; Ideas [objects] are inert,
fleeting, dependent things, which subsist not by themselves, but are
supported by, or exist in minds or spiritual substances....The cause
of Ideas is an incorporeal active Substance or Spirit.' —Berkeley. London SWAN SONNENSCHEIN & CO. PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1892 [All rights reserved]
'Looking to the chaotic state of logic text-books at the present time, one would be inclined to say that there does not exist anywhere a recognised, currently-received body of speculation to which the title Logic can be unambiguously assigned, and that we must therefore resign the hope of attaining by any empirical consideration of the received doctrine, a precise determination of the nature and limits of logical theory.' Encyc. Brit., Art., Logic.
