Excerpt from The Gadarene: Or, Spirits in PrisonThe common consciousness of the race admits a standard Of moral rectitude. This is the transcendent law of humanity. Protagoras was a cunning sophist, Socrates, a philosopher. Man is the measure Of all things, said Protagoras, and, as men differ, there can be no absolute truth. Man is the measure Of all things, replied Socrates, but descend deeper into his personality, and you will find that underneath all varieties there is a ground of steady Math. Men differ, but men also agree: they differ as to what is ¿eeting, they agree as to what is eternal. Difference is the region of Opinion, Agreement is the region of Truth: let us endeavor to penetrate that region.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
