Only the more uncompromising ...

Only the more uncompromising of the mystics still seek for knowledge in a silent land of absolute intuition, where the intellect finally lays down its conceptual tools, and rests from its pragmatic labors, while its works do not follow it, but are simply forgotten, and are as if they never had been.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

By an individual being, whate...

By an individual being, whatever one's metaphysical doctrine, one means an unique being, that is, a being which is alone of its own type, or is such that no other of its class exists.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Memory and hope constantly in...

Memory and hope constantly incite us to the extensions of the self which play so large a part in our daily life.

Loyalty is a good for the loyal man; but it may be mischievous for those whom his cause assails.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Listen to any musical phrase o...

Listen to any musical phrase or rhythm, and grasp it as a whole, and you thereupon have present in you the image, so to speak, of the divine knowledge of the temporal order.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Our will makes constantly a so...

Our will makes constantly a sort of agreement with the world, whereby, if the world will continually show some respect to the will, the will shall consent to be strenuous in its industry.

The world is a
progressively realized community of interpretation.

I teach at Harvard that the world and the heavens, and the stars are all real, but not so damned real, you see.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

We seek true individuality and...

We seek true individuality and the true individuals. But we find them not. For lo, we mortals see what our poor eyes can see; and they, the true individuals, - they belong not to this world of our merely human sense and thought.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

For myself, I do not now know ...

For myself, I do not now know in any concrete human terms wherein my individuality consists. In my present human form of consciousness I simply cannot tell.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Interfere with the reality of ...

Interfere with the reality of my world, and you therefore take the very life and heart out of my will.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

So, as one sees, I by no means...

So, as one sees, I by no means deprive my world of stubborn reality, if I merely call it a world of ideas.

By an individual being, whatever one's metaphysical doctrine, one means an unique being, that is, a being which is alone of its own type, or is such that no other of its class exists.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Man you can define; but the tr...

Man you can define; but the true essence of any man, say, for instance, of Abraham Lincoln, remains the endlessly elusive and mysterious object of the biographer's interest, of the historian's comments, of popular legend, and of patriotic devotion.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

The unique eludes us; yet we r...

The unique eludes us; yet we remain faithful to the ideal of it; and in spite of sense and of our merely abstract thinking, it becomes for us the most real thing in the actual world, although for us it is the elusive goal of an infinite quest.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

A self is, by its very essence...

A self is, by its very essence, a being with a past. One must look lengthwise backwards in the stream of time in order to see theself, or its shadow, now moving with the stream, now eddying in the currents from bank to bank of its channel, and now strenuously straining onwards in the pursuit of its chosen good.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

If usually the 'present age'...

If usually the 'present age' is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as thehistory of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.

Only the more uncompromising of the mystics still seek for knowledge in a silent land of absolute intuition, where the intellect finally lays down its conceptual tools, and rests from its pragmatic labors, while its works do not follow it, but are simply forgotten, and are as if they never had been.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

Philosophers have actually dev...

Philosophers have actually devoted themselves, in the main, neither to perceiving the world, nor to spinning webs of conceptual theory, but to interpreting the meaning of the civilizations which they have represented, and to attempting the interpretation of whatever minds in the universe, human or divine, they believed to be real.

Josiah Royce 41 quotes

This preparatory sort of idealism is the one that, as I just suggested, Berkeley made prominent, and, after a fashion familiar. I must state it in my own way, although one in vain seeks to attain novelty in illustrating so frequently described a view.
