Is Life Worth Living? For it is to be sought for none the less, as our positivists decidedly tell us, even though all other happiness should be ruined by it. Is Life Worth Living? When, for example, the Italian positivists repeatedly assert that woman is less erotic and more sexual, they mean that man cares more about the satisfaction of the sexual impulse, woman about the maternal instinct. Criminal Psychology; a manual for judges, practitioners, and students By what conceivable means, then, can the positivists transfer to Nature in general qualities which, so far as they know, are peculiar to human nature only? Is Life Worth Living? In fact, she belonged to that school of English positivists which has only accepted the positive philosophy of Comte, and which has rejected his later work in the direction of social and religious construction. George Eliot; a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings & Philosophy The positivist, we must remember, conceives of the moral end in the same way, and sets upon it the same value. Is Life Worth Living? For the positivist, just as much as the Christian, this sense of rightness in love is interfused with the affection proper, and does as it were give wings to it. Is Life Worth Living? And let us ask him again, what, as uttered by a positivist, these words can by any possibility mean. Is Life Worth Living? Such is the condition of the individual according to the positivist theory. Is Life Worth Living? George Eliot agreed with Comte and all other positivists in setting aside every inquiry into causes, and limiting philosophy to the search after laws. George Eliot; a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings & Philosophy In this book the words 'positive,' 'positivist,' and 'positivism' are of constant occurrence as applied to modern thought and thinkers. Is Life Worth Living? To begin then; truth, as the positivists speak of it, is plainly a thing that is to be worshipped in two ways—firstly by its discovery, and secondly by its publication.

Our positivists have appealed to Buddhism, and to Buddhism they shall certainly go. Is Life Worth Living? But the positivists' heaven is altogether in this world; and no mystical faith has any place in their system. Is Life Worth Living?

It is this belief on which the positivists rely to create that enthusiasm, that impassioned benevolence, which is to be the motive power of their whole ethical machinery. Is Life Worth Living? For the divine, earth is an illusion, heaven a reality; for the positivist, earth is a reality, and heaven an illusion. Is Life Worth Living? It is then hard to conceive an appeal more singularly infelicitous than that which our modern positivists make to Buddhism. Is Life Worth Living? The positivists imitate the divine in neglecting what they think is an illusion; but they do not attempt to imitate him in studying what they think is the reality. Is Life Worth Living?
