To what a degree this loose mode of classing and denominating objects has rendered the vocabulary of mental and moral philosophy unfit for the purposes of accurate thinking, is best known to whoever has most meditated on the present condition of those branches of knowledge. Since, however, the introduction of a new technical language as the vehicle of speculations on subjects belonging to the domain of daily discussion, is extremely difficult to effect, and would not be free from inconvenience even if effected, the problem for the philosopher, and one of the most difficult which he has to resolve, is, in retaining the existing phraseology, how best to alleviate its imperfections. This can only be accomplished by giving to every general concrete name which there is frequent occasion to predicate, a definite and fixed connotation; in order that it may be known what attributes, when we call an object by that name, we really mean to predicate of the object. And the question of most nicety is, how to give this fixed connotation to a name, with the least possible change in the objects which the name is habitually employed to denote; with the least possible disarrangement, either by adding or subtraction, of the group of objects which, in however imperfect a manner, it serves to circumscribe and hold together; and with the least vitiation of the truth of any propositions which are commonly received as true. He said, as though reading from a police report:Francine Debreaux. French nationality. In this country four years and her passport and papers in order. Mrs. Todhunter Wendels personal maid for the last year. Had fair references. New York is checking these for me now. 24 Because we wrote down the numbers on the gun, and then it was locked in the desk at the suggestion of one of the parties. Even if he was drunk I didnt think he’d have talked. He was too proud of playing the secretive private detective part. He dramatized himself too much to let slip anything like that, or I was wrong. Dont youdare use that language in my house! my mother yells, and for a moment I fear she will slap me, but instead she clenches both hands, and turns away from me. I watch her silent struggle for control. She is trembling with rage, her knuckles white where she presses her hands together, her thin shoulders shaking. All at once, she seems so very small and slight. I almost want to take her in my arms and comfort her. She shakes her head, as if suspecting I might try to embrace her, and warding off any such motion beforehand. A quoi respondeo, The attributes of a king are a mark of the attributes of man, § 15. Our survey of the varieties of Things which have been, or which are capable of being, named—which have been, or are capable of being, either predicated of other Things, or themselves made the subject of predications—is now concluded. I laughed.Whod stake it? You and Kirby and my partner know I’m here. That’s all. If Crandall knew it, I’d have got some action before now. I think I would, anyway. I’ve come in and out pretty quiet; today was the first time out in daylight, since I moved in. It’s possible, of course. Lieutenant Tyler said,Tune in on your radio. Give Headquarters code signal fourteen. Thatll get four more men on the job. What’s the co-ordinate here? I burst out laughing. A science is thus formed, to which I would propose to give the name of Ethology, or the Science of Character, fromἦθος, a word more nearly corresponding to the termcharacter as I here use it, than any other word in the same language. The name is perhaps etymologically applicable to the entire science of our mental and moral nature; but if, as is usual and convenient, we employ the name Psychologyfor the science of the elementary laws of mind, Ethology will serve for the ulterior science which determines the kind of character produced in conformity to those general laws by any set of circumstances, physical and moral. According to this definition, Ethology is the science which corresponds to the art of education in the widest sense of the term, including the formation of national or collective character as well as individual. It would indeed be vain to expect (however completely the laws of the formation of character might be ascertained) that we could know so accurately the circumstances of any given case as to be able positively to predict the character that would be produced in that case. But we must remember that a degree of knowledge far short of the power of actual prediction is often of much practical value. There may be great power of influencing phenomena, with a very imperfect knowledge of the causes by which they are in any given instance determined. It is enough that we know that certain means have a tendency to produce a given effect, and that others have a tendency to frustrate it. When the circumstances of an individual or of a nation are in any considerable degree under our control, we may, by our knowledge of tendencies, be enabled to shape those circumstances in a manner much more favorable to the ends we desire, than the shape which they would of themselves assume. This is the limit of our power; but within this limit the power is a most important one. Their relative equivalence, or virtual identity, throughout every schematic difference. The letter was dated two days earlier, was sent to the United States Department of Customs, and read: Please, Dr. Dixon said. This may mean a lot to you. Keeping his right elbow against the wall, he began inching along. Suddenly, after only a few paces, he felt a cold draught. Then wood on his hand. Freeing himself from Cleos arms, Roy turned his head away. The light was coming from Bruno. No, no, Trenton interrupted hurriedly. Dont do that. I don’t want him to snap at me. Rob felt that he would never be able to sleep but the relaxing effect of the warm bath, the glass of hot milk Linda Mae brought him, and the sheer mental and nervous fatigue, caused him to sink into deep slumber within ten minutes of the time he placed his head on the pillow..
