states , if pushed
to
its
logical
extreme
,
passes
into
pantheism pure and simple
;
and thus through
object
ing
to
Locke's
primary
qualities
as
things
in
them
selves
,
Berkeley returns
,
through
the objection
,
back
to
the
causa sui
,
or
better
,
ratio sui
of
Spinoza
,
the
spiritual
twin
of
Locke
.
I
have taken some little trouble
to
arrive
at
this one
isolated conclusion
,
that the Realism
of
the scholastic
philosophers
,
the
materialism
of
the
classical
and
modern
sages
,
and
also
,
if
we choose
to
extend our
scheme
,
Nominalism
,
Conceptualism
,
Theism
,
Positiv
ism
,
Spiritualism
(
Malebranche
),
Agnosticism
(
Spen
cer
),
all
and
one
,
with
all
the other isms
,
may
,
with
the slightest trouble
in
the world
,
be
equated into cor
responding terms
of
Berkeleyan Idealism
.
And why
?
Because each individual
master
,
each separate school
,
like the astronomer
in
the fable
,
whilst
gazing
at
his
own
particular
star
,
fell
into
the
open
ditch which
yawned unperceived
at
his feet
.
And Berkeley
:
is
he
the Ultima
Thule
,
the stone
of
the wise
?
By
no
means
,
only
I,
in
the above case
,
chose
to
represent the ditch
by
Berkeley
;
you may call
it
Büchner
,
Spencer
,
or
Hume
,
for
you
my
readers
,
if
you
with
sufficient
patience pursue what
I
will now call Crowleyanity
'
to
its
ultimate
end
,
will find that William
Shakespeare
of
Avon was not the only man
in
this fair world who
doubted
not that
by
any other
name
a
rose would
smell as sweet
.
Let
us
now
take
an
infinite
series
A
,
B,
A
,
B,
A
,
B
.
The question
asked
is
:
which
is
first
,
A
or
B
?
And
the
answer
depends
entirely
upon
the
direction
of
|
Not only the lever
of
Archimedes
,
but also the fulcrum
he
could not discover
.
